| 1. |  | Media Control, Second Edition: The Spectacular Achievements of Propaganda (Open Media) from Open Media Price: $4.89 Customer Review:  What irony....Noam Chomsky writing about media propaganda. At least he has firsthand experience with the topic, as the radical Left has made judicious use of his mastery of linquistics for their propaganda machine for decades. |

| 2. |  | Failed States: The Abuse of Power and the Assault on Democracy from Macmillan Audio Price: $2.87 Customer Review: It must be a source of constant frustration to Noam Chomsky that he must reside and eke out a living in an undemocratic "failed" state. Perhaps this is his rejoinder to those who would accuse him of voting with his feet. Appeals to the U.N. Charter, international law, and the sanctity of... |

| 3. |  | Profit Over People: Neoliberalism & Global Order from Seven Stories Press Price: $9.17 Customer Review:  Has some devestating, well-argued and well-documented arguments against free market capitalism, and the level of violence, imperialism, poverty and exploitation that runs with this.

| 4. |  | Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media from Pantheon Price: $11.41 Customer Review: PROPAGANDA Many credit Chomsky's "Manufacturing Consent" with being the premier study of government propaganda. In Leftist circles it is hailed as a Bible, a rite of passage for any true activist to understand the system. But again, Chomsky's work, while appearing radical, is actually... |

| 6. |  | Hegemony or Survival: America's Quest for Global Dominance (American Empire Project) from Holt Paperbacks Price: $2.14 Customer Review: I'm going to keep this review short, unlike others who feel they have to express every bit of insightful quip. This book is a good read. Difficult and enlightening. This is not an anti-America book, or an anti-regime book, it's a book with facts. One has to keep an open mind and like any good... |

| 8. |  | The Uses of Haiti (3rd Edition) from Common Courage Press Price: $17.85 Customer Review: A must read for anyone who wants to really understand Haiti, and especially its sad long history of poverty secondary to exploitation and racism.

| 9. |  | What We Say Goes: Conversations on U.S. Power in a Changing World (American Empire Project) from Metropolitan Books Price: $1.49 Customer Review: My only complaint is the book is too short. It's a couple of hundred pages I think, but the interview format leaves a lot of space in between. Learn about Corporatist America and its quest for Empire and Global Domination, its use of the World Bank and IMF for blackmailing third world companies into... |

| 10. |  | Language and Mind from Cambridge University Press Price: $13.10 Customer Review:  I'm a scientist with a background in (analytic) philosophy, and am used to technical writing and complex ideas; I picked up this book on John Searle's recommendation in an article in the New York Review of Books. I don't know what Searle was thinking; I found these lectures impenetrable. |

| 11. |  | The Chomsky-Foucault Debate: On Human Nature from New Press Price: $10.17 Customer Review: Regarding the so-called "power conspiracy" theories--which Chomsky has refuted several times, both in print and in lectures--proponents of those theories argue not, e.g., that there are meetings between the Board of Directors of Exxon-Mobil and their major stockholders--of which there... |

| 14. |  | New Horizons in the Study of Language and Mind from Cambridge University Press Price: $1.00 Customer Review: This is a nativist argument... fine. But it's the same nativist argument said different ways. There was so much repeat in this book I feel that an easy third of it could have been omitted. Also, there's no introduction or abstract before each essential lecture, so you're forced to read the whole... |

| 17. |  | Anarchism: From Theory to Practice from Monthly Review Press Price: $11.24 Customer Review: that Anarchism was a form of socialism. I thought of it as a right-wing form of extreme libertarian thought. To find out that it is a form of non-state socialism, libertarian-socialism, helps me understand so many things. Like the problems between the anarchists and the communists during the Spanish... |

| 19. |  | Year 501: The Conquest Continues from South End Press Price: $17.95 Customer Review: I happened to be reading this on the anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attacks; on the same day my local paper carried a Mallard Fillmore strip which tried to mock the liberal media by having a stereotypical liberal media commentator intoning, "Today the Japanese Attacked Pearl Harbor. Let's examine... |

If the U.S.... |

| 26. |  | Anarcho-Syndicalism: Theory and Practice (Working Classics) from AK Press Price: $7.00 Customer Review: While the fall of the Soviet Union was seen by some as proof that socialism is untenable, Rocker shows in this text how the revolution was doomed from the start, and offers an attractive alternative to the party-led style of statist socialism attempted there.

| 27. |  | What Uncle Sam Really Wants (The Real Story Series) from Odonian Press Price: $6.88 Customer Review: The publishing date is 1992, but the material hasn't dated at all. Fifteen intervening years have merely augmented Chomsky's thesis. Within its farflung empire, the US continues to intervene where and when it wants, public be darned. Iraq, of course, is just the latest chapter in that expanding... |
