The Precipice

Neoliberalism, the Pandemic and the Urgent Need for Social Change

De: Noam Chomsky, C.J. Polychroniou

Narrado por: Eric Jason Martin

In The Precipice, Noam Chomsky sheds light into the phenomenon of Trumpism, exposes the catastrophic nature and impact of Trump's policies on people, the environment, and the planet as a whole, and captures the dynamics of the brutal class warfare launched by the masters of capital to maintain and even enhance the features of a dog-eat-dog society to the unprecedented mobilization of millions of people against neoliberal capitalism, racism, and police violence.

Fantastic but repetitive

This is a book of unedited interviews, and as a result, every point Noam makes, clear and well-argued though it is, gets repeated 5 or more times throughout the book in more or less the same words. You will be getting Deja Vu the entire read. This didn’t dampen the value of the book for me too much, but it’s glaring enough to be worth mentioning. This book could probably have been edited down to a quarter of the length without losing any of the points made.

Of Incalculable Importance

Noam Chomsky's unique perspective is more important now than ever before. Truly on the precipice of collapse, America has been hijacked into the believes of a radical ideology created to aid the interests of the ultra wealthy. The commentaries expressed in this title lay bare the atrocities of those "masters of the universe."

Balanced and a surprise for the divided nation

Noam Chomsky is a voice in the dark, taking no sides and just explaining power as it truly is. Listen for yourself and make your own decisions. I for one consider this human worthy of history, a never ending voice wading through the propaganda of all power structures to provide some small equalities.

Thank You Sir.

the foremost intellectual of our time

listen. heed. his warning is very real. I don't wish to sound alarmist but this is the verifiable factor the matter.

Repetition after repetition

I love Chomsky, and this book contains brilliant gems. however many thoughts are repeated
