Whether it’s discussing linguistics with Foucault in a televised debate, authoring more than 100 books or being a fierce critic of American foreign policy, Noam Chomsky has been a highly influential figure for nearly seven decades.
Now in his mid 90s, he shows no signs of stopping and joins us today to discuss 'Chronicles of Dissent', an accessible and broad-ranging collection of talks for those who seek new perspectives on the big topics of our time.

🙏🏻♥️🙏🏽♥️🙏 Definitely most brilliant, humblest, and lovable mind of his time. The modern Socrates. A true treasure for humankind.

Chomsky's answers are one of a kind; in clarity - very lucid, put in a simple (relatable to the common man) language, profound depth at the same time, also exciting to hear!

البروفيسور/ تشومسكي وهب، حياته في العلم والقراءة والنظريات والمقابلات… ورصع طريقاً متوجهاً، حيث اصبح هو العالِم الذي نحتاجه دوماً. ورغم هدا السن وكل هذا العناء، يكلف نفسه ويفتح الشاشة ويشارك معنا سنين من عمره وحياته وعلمه. ثانكيو مستر تشومسكي❤

Lovely, brilliant and simple - yet with enemies. Like thought about Jesus despite his words addressing hell.

Unequivocally the most important intellectual and citizen of the world.

Along with millions I am a life long fan of Chomsky, have read his books and articles, and avidly listen to interviews. I have a question for him: does he believe state capitalism remains as savage as ever and committed to Adam Smith's vile maxim of all for me and nothing for the rest or does he believe it can be reformed and made less savage and hostile to human survival? I know he says reform and radical change are not necessarily mutually exclusive. The former can prepare the way for the latter. However the masters of the universe may countenance a degree of reform but not as a prelude to radical change. Reform may be accepted only to prevent longer term radical change. Consequently, is it not the case that state capitalism remains hostile to human civilization and ordered survival even if it has to be combated in staged process?
