One of our greatest political minds \u201cchallenges us to think more independently and more deeply about the human consequences of power and privilege\u201d (Norman Solomon, author of Made Love, Got War). Renowned interviewer David Barsamian showcases his unique access to Chomsky\u2019s thinking on a number of topics of contemporary and historical import. Chomsky offers insights into the institutions that shape the public mind in the service of power and profit. In an interview conducted after the important November 1999 \u201cBattle in Seattle,\u201d Chomsky discusses prospects for building a movement to challenge corporate domination of the media, the environment, and even our private lives. Whether discussing US military escalation in Colombia, attacks on Social Security, or growing inequality worldwide, Chomsky shows how ordinary people, if they work together, have the power to make meaningful change. \u201cIn Propaganda and the Public Mind, we have unique insight into Noam Chomsky\u2019s decades of penetrating analyses . . . drawn together in one slender volume by a brilliant radio interviewer, David Barsamian.\u201d \u2015Ben H. Bagdikian, Pulitzer Prize\u2013winning journalist \u201cTo anyone who wonders if ideas, information, and activism can make a profound difference in the twenty-first century, I say: \u2018Read this book.\u2019\u201d \u2015Norman Solomon, author of The Habits of Highly Deceptive Media Praise for Noam Chomsky \u201cThe conscience of the American people.\u201d \u2014New Statesman \u201cChomsky is a global phenomenon . . . perhaps the most widely read voice on foreign policy on the planet.\u201d \u2014The New York Times Book Review \u201cThere is no living political writer who has more radically changed how more people think in more parts of the world about political issues.\u201d \u2015Glenn Greenwald, journalist \u201cA truth-teller on an epic scale.
