About the Book

¿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 cadavez más ante cualquier restricción que la democracia pretenda imponer a su poder. Mientras el grueso de la población es empujada 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.

La crítica a dicho

«Para cualquiera que quiera descubrir más sobre el mundo en que vivimos [...] hay una respuesta simple: lee a Noam Chomsky.»

New Statesman

«El libro de Chomsky es [...] una polémica concebida para sacar a los estadounidenses de la autocomplacencia. Estados Unidos, en su opinión, debe ser controlado, y Chomsky defiende esa idea con ímpetu [...] Deberíamos entender esta obra como un alegato para terminar con la hipocresía, presentar una dimensión con principios firmes de las relaciones de Estados Unidos con el mundo y, en lugar de asumir la benevolencia estadounidense, llevar a cabo un examen crítico de los métodos mediante los cuales el gobierno de Washington ejerce, en la práctica, un poder todavía sin parangón.»--The New York Review of Books

«Con lógica implacable, Chomsky nos obliga a escuchar con atención lo que nuestros dirigentes nos cuentan, y a discernir lo que omiten [...] Estemos de acuerdo con él o no, si no lo escuchamos saldremos perdiendo.» BusinessWeek «¿Cómo llegamos a ser un imperio? Los escritos de Noam Chomsky el ciudadano más útil de Estados Unidos; son la mejor respuesta a esa pregunta.»--The Boston Globe

«Es posible que si Estados Unidos actúa como el Reino Unidos en el siglo XIX, dentro de cien años la interpretación de Chomsky constituya el estándar entre los historiadores.»--The New Yorker

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.

"Chomsky is a global phenomenon. . . . He may be the most widely read American voice on foreign policy on the planet."--The New York Times Book Review

"It is possible that, if the United States goes the way of nineteenth-century Britain, Chomsky's interpretation will be the standard among historians a hundred years from now."--The New Yorker
