Thought provoking and well references,
By A Customer
This review is from: Class War - the Attack on Working People (Audio CD)
I really like this recording after stumbling across it while browsing. It's a clever analysis of the way busines, as the world's most powerful interest group, undermines democracy. The quote from Dewey that "government is the shadow cast by business on society" gives you an idea.My only niggle is as an academic piece of work I'd like the packaging to give the references so you can follow stuff up for yourself.

Excellent Introduction to Chomsky's Work,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Class War (Audio CD)
Chomsky also shows the hypocrisy and cruelty behind Conservative "liberal-bashing." The section of the book where he describes the true nature of Republican "privatization" is gripping. He describes how "privatization" will essentially hand over more political power to large corporations, who have no regard for our health or well-being. That portion alone makes the book worth the money. This book is good for thawing out Conservatives, and an engaging introduction for those uninterested in politics. As always, Chomsky shows the human face of politics with more honesty and compassion than perhaps any 20th Century American.

Stunning,
By "shinto_tanuki" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Class War - the Attack on Working People (Audio CD)
Noam is easily THE most intelligent and well-spoken man on the left in this country. As a proud socialist I spent the entire time this cd was in my player riveted. Noam breaks down the steady anihilation of unions by government and business in this country, in a speech that has the passion of Jello Biafra and the fact content of Howard Zinn.

Insightful and powerful but Chomsky has done better,
By George J. Kloss "George Kloss" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Class War - the Attack on Working People (Audio CD)
This is a very good lecture by Mr. Chomsky but he has done better on the same subject. If you are to buy only one of these lectures check out "Free Market Fantasies: Capitalism in the Real World" by Chomsky. It is clearer and more eye opening than this.This is a very good lecture and delivers nice points but "Free Market Fantasies: Capitalism in the Real World" brings up more issues and realities that the average Joe never gets through the media. |
