Drawing on a wide range of examples, from the expanding drone assassination program to the threat of nuclear warfare, as well as the flashpoints of Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and Israel\/Palestine, he offers unexpected and nuanced insights into the workings of imperial power on our increasingly chaotic planet. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the process, Chomsky provides a brilliant anatomy of just how U.S. elites have grown ever more insulated from any democratic constraints on their power. While the broader population is lulled into apathy--diverted to consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable--the corporations and the rich have increasingly been allowed to do as they please. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFierce, unsparing, and meticulously documented, \u003ci\u003eWho Rules the World?\u003c\/i\u003e delivers the indispensable understanding of the central conflicts and dangers of our time that we have come to expect from Chomsky.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNoam Chomsky \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of numerous bestselling political works, including \u003ci\u003eHegemony or Survival\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eFailed States\u003c\/i\u003e.
