El mito del idealismo americano : Cómo la política exterior de EE.UU pone el mundo en peligro

The Myth of American Idealism offers a timely and comprehensive introduction to the incisive critiques of American power that have made Noam Chomsky a “global phenomenon,” one of the most important public intellectuals of all time. Examining the history of U.S. military and economic activity around the world, Chomsky and Nathan J. Robinson vividly analyze how the American quest for global domination has wreaked havoc country after country without, ironically, making its citizens any safer. They further explore how ruling elites have promoted self-serving myths about the country’s commitment to “spreading democracy” while pursuing a reckless foreign policy that benefits a few and endangers many. Examining nuclear proliferation and climate change, they show how U.S. policies continue to exacerbate global threats. At once exhaustive and devastating, urgent and provocative, The Farce of American Idealism provides a highly readable entry into the conclusions he has reached after a lifetime of reflection and activism.
