This program is read by the writers In a persuasive new group of interviews, Noam Chomsky identifies the "dry up kindling" of discontent surrounding the world that can soon catch fireplace. In wide-ranging interviews with David Barsamian, his longtime interlocutor, Noam Chomsky asks listeners to consider "the world we are going out of to your grandchildren": one imperiled by the escalation of environment change and the growing potential for nuclear conflict. If the current system is incapable of working with these hazards, he argues, it's up to us to radically change it. These 12 interviews, conducted from 2013 to 2016, verify the latest trends around the world: the devastation of Syria, the reach of status monitoring, growing anger over financial inequality, the area of religion in American politics culture, and the bitterly contested 2016 US presidential election. In associated personal reflections on his Philadelphia childhood and his 87th birthday, Chomsky also details his own intellectual voyage and the development of his uncompromising stance as America's leading dissident intellectual. Global Discontents is the perfect audiobook for politically engaged listeners enthusiastic about the continuing future of America and the world.
