Noam Chomsky - The Imperial Presidency

Chomsky pinpoints the principle commitments of the current administration. In the name of expanding markets and controlling access to key natural resources we’ve seen the blatant undermining of democratic practice, contempt for binding International Law, restriction of civil liberties, and the use of war crimes to further foreign policy objectives. This is not another cataloging of the offenses and blunders committed by George W. Bush, but a lively chronicle of the systematic power plays which have effectively wrenched power from citizens’ hands and made the world an increasingly unstable place to inhabit.
