{"product_id":"hopes-and-prospects-9781931859967","title":"Hopes and Prospects","description":"In this urgent new book, Noam Chomsky surveys the dangers and prospects of our early twenty-first century. Exploring challenges such as the growing gap between North and South, American exceptionalism (including under President Barack Obama), the fiascos of Iraq and Afghanistan, the U.S.-Israeli assault on Gaza, and the recent financial bailouts, he also sees hope for the future and a way to move forward--in the democratic wave in Latin America and in the global solidarity movements that suggest real progress toward freedom and justice. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eHopes and Prospects \u003c\/i\u003e is essential reading for anyone who is concerned about the primary challenges still facing the human race. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is a classic Chomsky work: a bonfire of myths and lies, sophistries and delusions. Noam Chomsky is an enduring inspiration all over the world--to millions, I suspect--for the simple reason that he is a truth-teller on an epic scale.
