"From meditations on human nature to strategic advice for the Trump era, Chomsky remains the thinker who shaped a generation, a beacon of hope" (Sarah Jaffe, host of Belabored)
This volume offers readers a concise and accessible introduction to the ideas of Noam Chomsky, described by the New York Time as "arguably the most important intellectual alive."
In these recent, wide-ranging interviews, conducted for Truthout by C. J. Polychroniou, Chomsky discusses his views on the "war on terror" and the rise of neoliberalism, the refugee crisis and cracks in the European Union, prospects for a just peace in Israel/Palestine, the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement, the dysfunctional US electoral system, the grave danger posed to humanity by the climate crisis, and the hopes, prospects, and challenges of building a movement for radical change.
"A must read in these troubling times . . . This is an excellent collection of interviews that highlights Chomsky's encyclopedic knowledge of the key issues of our day and his unwavering criticism of the regime of the global 1%." -Deepa Kumar, author of Islamophobia and the Politics of Empire
"In this brilliant series of recent and wide-ranging interviews, Noam Chomsky combines an astounding breadth of knowledge, great depth of insight, clarity in explaining his ideas, and a relentless commitment to social and economic justice. The full package is simply exhilarating, especially in our current dismal era of Donald Trump. Optimism over Despair is a book to devour." -Robert Pollin, distinguished professor of Economics and codirector of the Political Economy Research Institute
"Especially valuable in helping us navigate the dreadful challenges of the Trumpian era." -Michael Klare, defense correspondent for The Nation
