Powers and Prospects: Reflections on Human Nature and the Social Order

From East Timor to the Middle East, from the nature of democracy to our place in the natural world, from the intellectual responsibility of writers to anarchic visions, from international politics to the politics of language, this work provides a critique of orthodox views and government policy. Chomsky reveals how the "new" world order is remarketing the same old disorder. The works contained in this work reflects Chomsky's latest thinking on a range of themes. The book is based upon a series of addresses he delivered to audiences on his 1995 visit to Australia.
