Summary

¿Quién domina el mundo? Encarnizado, implacable y meticulosamente documentado, proporciona la explicación indispensable de los conflictos y peligros clave de nuestro tiempo que siempre se espera de Noam Chomsky.

En un análisis incisivo y concienzudo de la presente situación internacional, Chomsky argumenta que Estados Unidos, por medio de sus políticas predominantemente militaristas y su ilimitada devoción por mantener un imperio de escala mundial, está arriesgándose a una catástrofe que destrozaría los bienes comunes del planeta.
 
Recurriendo a una amplia variedad de ejemplos, desde el programa en expansión de asesinatos mediante drones hasta la amenaza de una guerra nuclear, pasando por los puntos críticos que representan los conflictos de Irak, Irán, Afganistán e Israel-Palestina, Chomsky ofrece reflexiones inesperadas y cargadas de matices sobre el funcionamiento del poder imperial en un planeta cada vez más caótico.
 
De paso, el autor proporciona un brillante estudio acerca de cómo las élites de Estados Unidos han ido aislándose cada vez más ante cualquier restricción que la democracia pretenda imponer a su poder. Mientras el grueso de la población es empujado a la apatía -desviada hacia el consumismo o al odio al vulnerable- a las corporaciones y los ricos se les permite, cada vez más, hacer lo que les plazca.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A New York Times Bestseller

The world’s leading intellectual offers a probing examination of the waning American Century, the nature of U.S. policies post-9/11, and the perils of valuing power above democracy and human rights .
 
In an incisive, thorough analysis of the current international situation, Noam Chomsky argues that the United States, through its military-first policies and its unstinting devotion to maintaining a world-spanning empire, is both risking catastrophe and wrecking the global commons. 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.
 
In 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.
 
Fierce, unsparing, and meticulously documented, Who Rules the World? delivers the indispensable understanding of the central conflicts and dangers of our time that we have come to expect from Chomsky.
