Because We Say So presents more than thirty concise, forceful commentaries on U.S. politics and global power. Written between 2011 and 2015, Noam Chomsky's arguments forge a persuasive counter-narrative to official accounts of U.S. politics and policies during global crisis. Find here classic Chomsky on the increasing urgency of climate change, the ongoing impact of Edward Snowden's whistleblowing, nuclear politics, cyberwar, terrorism, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, and the Middle East, security and state power, as well as deeper reflections on the Obama doctrine, political philosophy, the Magna Carta, and the importance of a commons to democracy.
Because We Say So is the third in a series of books by Chomsky published by City Lights Publishers that includes Making the Future (2012) and Interventions (2007), a book banned by U.S. military censors. Taken together, the three books present a complete collection of the articles Chomsky writes regularly for the New York Times Syndicate, and are largely ignored by newspapers in the United States. Because We Say So offers fierce, accessible, timely, gloves-off political writing by America's foremost public intellectual and political dissident.

      James Cronin brings to life 87-year-old Noam Chomsky's dry wit and scathing commentary on U.S. foreign policy. It's essential to hear these 34 pieces because most American newspapers ignore him. These were published outside the country. Cronin's conversational style captures the political dissident at his best. In "Assault on Public Education," listeners will learn that once those in power concluded that education benefits those who receive it and NOT society, it was decided that each individual must pay for it. Cronin's Chomsky notes in "Boston and Beyond" that the Marathon bombing resulted in disturbing, unexamined, and unregulated governmental power. Other important topics such as Israel/Palestine, Edward Snowden, the Axis of Evil, and many more are included. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine
