If you really want to open your eyes, read Understanding Power: The Indispensible Chomsky.

u/crayfisher · 8 pointsr/chomsky

Absolutely without question, Understanding Power. Super-accessible, covers the widest range of topics, all transcribed from Q&As he gave in person, all from memory. The footnotes alone are 449 pages, I believe they're on understandingpower.com. I've bought & given away multiple copies https://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Power-Indispensable-Chomsky-Noam/dp/0099466066

The big ones:

  • Manufacturing Consent (obviously)
  • Necessary Illusions
  • Political Economy of Human Rights Vol. 1 and 2 (I wouldn't start here, this is the Cambodia apologism thing)
  • Hegemony or Survival

    The first 3 are kind of huge original projects. A lot of his work is filler, repeat content, etc. so it's a good question to ask

    It will actually change your life. Just remember to keep reading after Chomsky, I think he's wrong about more than a few things.

Without a doubt Understanding Power.

It's a collection of transcripts of talks and interviews he's given covering an unbelievebly broad range of topics. What's even better is it's accompanied by about 450 pages of footnotes which can be found here.

Quoto "Armi, acciaio, e malattie" che ho appena finito di leggere, mentre ho appena acquistato "Perche' le nazioni falliscono".

Aggiungo (che ho anche appena letto) "Understanding Power" di Noam Chomsky, e di cui costituisce un po' il primer del suo pensiero (politico, non linguistico).
