‘One of the greatest, most radical public intellectuals of our time’ - ARUNDHATI ROY. In these sharp interviews, activist Chomsky addresses urgent issues of the tumultuous period, speaking about the decline of democracy in the United States and increasing global tensions. He examines the unraveling of the social fabric and the cracks of the Biden era, including the hesitant steps towards a Green New Deal, the illegal power of the Supreme Court, particularly its decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, and the lasting impacts of COVID-19. Chomsky also unravels the roots of the War in Ukraine, the diplomatic tensions between the United States, China, and Russia, and discusses the need for international action against climate change. ‘Illegal Power’ exposes those who wield power for their own benefit and outlines a framework for how we can stand together and fight against injustice.
‘The most distinguished critic of American imperialism in the West . . . the closest thing in the English-speaking world to an intellectual star’ - Guardian.
‘Will there ever be a public intellectual again who attracts the attention of so many people on the planet?’ - New Statesman.
