Profit or people?

An in-depth analysis of the doctrinal system of capitalist democracies and the neoliberal threat.

Recognized by critics as a libertarian socialist, Noam Chomsky rose to prominence in the 1990s as the leading critic of the free market. For him, the liberal nature of capitalism is structurally flawed and morally evil.

In "Profit or People?" , Chomsky unequivocally reveals the reasons why neoliberalism cannot be considered a novelty. For him, it is simply a modern version of the oppression of the happy few over the vast majority of society, whose civil and political rights are being crushed.

The neoliberal order has generated immense political and economic crises in Southwest Asia, Eastern Europe, and Latin America. The quality of life in developed nations in Europe, Japan, and the United States is not immune to the harmful effects of globalization, and Chomsky predicts tremendous social upheaval in the coming years as societies experience considerable turmoil.

According to the author, the consequences of neoliberal policies will be a massive increase in socioeconomic inequalities, greater deprivation of the poorest people and countries around the world, a terrible increase in ecological disasters, global economic instability, and certainly unprecedented abundance for the rich and powerful.

Noam Chomsky is one of the most influential thinkers of our time, and his writings on politics have been a major contribution to intellectual and academic circles for decades. He is the author of 9/11 , his first international bestseller and arguably the most influential book of the post-terrorist period. He is also the author of many other bestsellers, such as Requiem for the American Dream and Failed States .
