Power Systems is the latest collection of scathing analyses by the intellectual star Noam Chomsky. In this new collection of conversations, conducted from 2010 to 2012, Noam Chomsky explores the most immediate and urgent concerns: the future of democracy in the Arab world, the effects of the nuclear disaster in Fukushima, the 'class warfare' waged by U.S. corporate interests against workers and the poor, the collapse of major political institutions, and the rise of the far right.

This latest edition from a long-standing, reliable collaboration once again shows that no interlocutor interacts with Chomsky more effectively than David Barsamian. These interviews will inspire a new generation of readers, as well as longtime Chomsky fans eager to hear his latest thoughts on the many crises we face today, both domestically and abroad. They confirm that Chomsky is a unique resource for anyone wishing to understand our world today.

Noam Chomsky is the author of many bestselling political books, including Hegemony or Survival, Failed States, Interventions, What We Say Goes, Hopes and Prospects, and recently, Occupy, all published by Hamish Hamilton/Penguin. He is a professor in the Department of Linguistics and Philosophy at MIT, and is widely credited with revolutionizing modern linguistics.

David Barsamian is the award-winning founder and director of Alternative Radio. He has co-authored several books of interviews with leading political thinkers.
