Making the Future

In Making the Future, Noam Chomsky takes on a wide range of hot-button issues including the ongoing financial crisis, Obama`s presidency, the limits of the two-party system, nuclear Iran, Afghanistan, Israel-Palestine, corporate power, and the future of American politics. Laced throughout his critiques are expressions of commitment to democracy and the power of popular struggles. `Progressive legislation and social welfare,` writes Chomsky, `have been won by popular struggles, not gifts from above. Those struggles follow a cycle of success and setback. They must be waged every day, not just once every four years, always with the goal of creating a genuinely responsive democratic society, from the voting booth to the workplace.`Making the Future offers fierce, accessible, timely, gloves-off political writing by one of the world`s foremost intellectual and political dissidents.
