Propaganda and the Public Mind

From the Publisher:

All new, unpublished interviews with world-renowned dissident Noam Chomsky.

In his latest interview collection, Noam Chomsky offers insights into the institutions that shape the public mind in the service of power and profit. Whether discussing U.S. military escalation in Colombia, the attack on Social Security, the rise of HMOs, or growing inequality worldwide, Chomsky shows how ordinary citizens, if they work together, have the power to make meaningful change.

"In Propaganda and the Public Mind, we have unique insight into Noam Chomsky's decades of penetrating analyses...drawn together in one slender volume by a brilliant radio interviewer, David Barsamian. They make clear that the new electronic media and their corporate culture ignore national boundaries and in that sense exceed in power individual nations of the world whose borders they so easily penetrate."
-Ben Bagdikian, author of The Media Monopoly

"To anyone who wonders if ideas, information, and activism can make a profound difference in the twenty-first century, I say: 'Read this book.' Propaganda and the Public Mind challenges us to think more independently and more deeply about the human consequences of power and privilege. It also minces no words about the grim results of illusion and inaction. These discussions between Noam Chomsky and David Barsamian will inspire readers to explore wider possibilities...What we do with it is up to us."
-- Norman Solomon, author, The Habits of Highly Deceptive Media
