U.S. elites have grown ever more insulated from democratic constraints on their power, argues Noam Chomsky; while the population is lulled into apathy by consumerism or contempt of the vulnerable, our richest citizens and corporations have been increasingly allowed to do as they please. One of the world's leading intellectuals, Chomsky offers this probing examination of the waning American Century, the nature of U.S. policies after 9/11, and the peril of valuing power above democracy and human rights. From the expanding drone assassination program to the proliferation of nuclear weapons, he shows how our unrelenting devotion to imperial control is both risking catastrophe and wrecking the global commons.
