Synopsis
Because We Say So is Noam Chomsky's essential counter punch to American hegemony
In 1962, the eminent statesman Dean Acheson enunciated a principle that has dominated global politics ever since: that no legal issue arises when the United States responds to a challenge to its 'power, position, and prestige'. In short, whatever the world may think, U.S. actions are legitimate because they say so.
Spanning the impact of Edward Snowden's whistleblowing and Palestinian-Israeli relations to deeper reflections on political philosophy and the importance of a commons to democracy, Because We Say So takes American imperialism head on.
'Noam Chomsky is one of a small band of individuals fighting a whole industry. And that makes him not only brilliant, but heroic' Arundhati Roy

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Condition: Muy bueno. : En 'Because We Say So', Noam Chomsky ofrece una contundente respuesta a la hegemonía estadounidense. Durante más de cincuenta años, Estados Unidos ha actuado con la convicción de que puede responder a cualquier desafío a su poder como considere oportuno, legitimando sus acciones simplemente porque ellos lo dicen. Chomsky aborda directamente el imperialismo estadounidense, abarcando desde el impacto de Edward Snowden y las relaciones palestino-israelíes hasta reflexiones sobre la filosofía política y la importancia de un espacio común para la democracia. Este libro ofrece una visión transversal de la continua hegemonía de Estados Unidos en el mundo.
