The essence of Noam Chomsky?s views on globalisation
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Noam Chomsky is one of the world's most renowned social critics as well the world's greatest linguist. He is also a prolific author, but his books are not easy to read. They are scholarly and dense. Jeremy Fox, on the other hand, writes beautifully plain English and expresses difficult ideas with a clarity that is almost as amazing as Chomsky's erudition."Chomsky and Globalisation" is a 65-page summary by Jeremy Fox of Noam Chomsky's views on globalisation. Chomsky believes that neo-liberals from the WTO, IMF and American transnational corporations are sucking the wealth out of Third World countries, while falsely claiming that they are simply encouraging "free trade." Jeremy Fox's translation of these complicated ideas into ordinary language makes them completely straightforward without distorting Chomsky's views at all.
