Publisher's Synopsis
In June 2009, Noam Chomsky gave a historic address in New York. More than 2,000 people attended this historic talk captured here, in which Chomsky offered a powerful analysis of the current economic crisis and its structural roots; the continuity in US foreign policy under the Barack Obama administration and the class interests driving US domestic and foreign policy. He also speaks here at length about the tradition of worker self-management as a concrete alternative to the business as usual approach of corporations and the government during the current crisis.
