Who owns the world, by: Noam Chomsky

Who owns the world? This book clearly reveals how the American empire was formed after World War II and how it fights and blocks democracy and systematically supports dictatorships. The great fear for America and the West is the virus of nationalism, not only in the Middle East but everywhere in the world, because national regimes may engage in illegal practices against international sovereignty and violate the principles of the great region. Chomsky has been a fierce critic of American foreign policy since the beginning of the Vietnam War, because he believes that the enormous influence of overt and covert intervention in local affairs has not received the attention it deserves. What makes Chomsky unique is his critique of the capitalist economic system, starting from classical liberal thinkers of the Enlightenment. His heroes are not Lenin and Marx, but Adam Smith and Wilhelm von Humboldt. He tried to prove that the free market imagined by these thinkers has never been realized in the world, and instead we have had collusion between the state and private interests. Additionally, he emphasizes that attacks on democracy and the market by large multinational corporations happen simultaneously. In truth, all the literature on humanitarian intervention and the right to protect, written and spoken, practically disappear under this simple and appropriate test. On the contrary, they do not discuss the real motives in reality, and one must examine documents and historical records to uncover them. So what are the motives of the United States? At the general level, the evidence shows that they have not changed since the era of advanced planning studies during World War II. Number of pages: 450
