Chomsky & Mujica (Includes poster)

Pepe Mujica, the world's most beloved politician, and Noam Chomsky, "the most important contemporary thinker," reunited for the first time. Includes an A4 poster of the book cover.

Two global figures of contemporary thought come together in *Chomsky & Mujica: Surviving the 21st Century* to discuss transcendental issues affecting humanity and debate alternatives for the future. On one side, José Pepe Mujica, former president of Uruguay and former guerrilla fighter who achieved enormous international popularity by preaching austerity, wisdom, and common sense. On the other, Noam Chomsky, the American intellectual and activist who revolutionized linguistics and dedicates himself to the humanistic and philosophical themes of our time. Mexican documentary filmmaker Saúl Alvídrez brought the two together for the first time, creating the perfect atmosphere for a fruitful exchange of ideas.

From the meeting of these voices, reflections emerge that allow for an understanding of the major issues facing the world: the consequences of climate change, the ills of politics, corruption, populism, the crisis of capitalism and its successive mutations, the logic of the market economy, and production problems, among many others.

Faced with the threat of civilizational collapse and the contradictory alternatives of the left, Chomsky and Mujica point out the values we must prioritize to move toward sustainable change: democracy, freedom, a purposeful life, love, and friendship as pillars from which a new direction can be built.
