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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFierce, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Metropolitan Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42977184252070,"sku":"9781627793810","price":19.9,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0443\/8471\/4918\/products\/9781627793810-1.jpg?v=1656101558","url":"https:\/\/bookxcess.myshopify.com\/products\/who-rules-the-world-9781627793810","provider":"Staging Site ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
