Product Description

As Noam Chomsky writes about somethingUS foreign policy, corporate policies, an election, or a movementhe is not only quite specific in recounting the topic and its facts but also exercises blisteringly relentless logic to discern the interconnections between the evidence and broader themes involved. This may seem mundane, but virtually every time, even aside from the details of the case in question, the process, the steps, the ways of linking one thing to another illustrate what it means to be a thinking, critical subject of history and society, in any time and place.
Taming the Rascal Multitude is a judicious selection of essays and interviews from Z Magazine from 1997 to 2014. In each, Chomsky takes up some question of the moment. As such, in sum, the essays provide an historical overview of the history that preceded Trump and the reaction to Trump. The essays situate what followed even without having known what would follow. They explicate what preceded the current era and provide a step-by-step revelation or how-to for successfully comprehending social events and relations. They are a pleasure to read, much like the pleasure of watching a great athlete or performer, but they also edify. They educate.
Reading Chomsky is about understanding how society works, how people relate to society and social trends and patterns and why, and, beyond the specifics, how to approach events, relations, occurrences, trends, and patterns in a way that reveals their inner meanings and their outer connections and implications. It is like reading the best you can get about topic after topic, and, more, it is like watching a master-craftsmen in a discipline that ought to be all of ours understanding the world to change it.

Review

Chomsky is a global phenomenon. . . . He may be the most widely read American voice on foreign policy on the planet.
New York Times Book Review
For anyone wanting to find out more about the world we live in . . . there is one simple answer: read Noam Chomsky.
New Statesman
With relentless logic, Chomsky bids us to listen closely to what our leaders tell usand to discern what they are leaving out. . . . Agree with him or not, we lose out by not listening.
Businessweek
Chomsky remains the thinker who shaped a generation, a beacon of hope in the darkest of times.
Sarah Jaffe, author of Necessary Trouble: Americans in Revolt
Noam Chomsky is the worlds most humane, philosophically sophisticated, and knowledgeable public intellectual.
