Hopes and Prospects Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Up-to-date on what is happening around the world. Typically prime material on the most influential leftist intellectual on earth. One of the few intellectuals that writes for everyone. He gets more into economics here than usual, something I think is important (readable economics). "

" The prospects aren't good and the hopes are vanishingly small, but these well-documented lectures and essays bring Chomsky's critique of American foreign policy into 2010 and demonstrate how little the media/government image of the US at work in the world continues to have to do with the reality. I thought the sections on Latin America and on our disgraceful treatment of the Russians after 1989 especially good. "

" Excellent review of American Foreign Policy and global events. "

" I found this a bit dry for Chomsky, if I am to be honest. But overall its not too bad. "

" Not even sure what to think. I need to read more about US foreign policy before I can really decide. Good read over all, dense writing style. "

" A worthy addition to the "Chomsky shelf"! He is always and unfailingly thought provoking and continues to impress the reader with his sense of urgency, even after all these years. "

" Another astonishing work by Chomsky. "

" Basically if you live in a free country then you are only free to do as your government allows you; basically you are free to do as you are told. Simple and obvious stuff but refreshing to see somebody actually commit the thoughts to the printed page. Getting close to a must read. "

" Enlightening to say the least. It's hard to argue with facts that are backed up with a mountain of sources. A must-read on foreign policy and first world conquest. "

" Interesting book. Paints a brutal picture that the United States are the bad guys. Systematically destroying democracy anywhere the result of elections does not further US imperial policy. Trampling human rights without any sense of conscience. Provides a much different perspective than Fox news. "

" Clear and lucid explanation of what drives contemporary politics and how we arrived here. Compassionate, moral and intelligent. "

" Eye opening about the financial crisis in particular. "

" I'm torn. It's a great book for tearing the curtain away and showing us what's behind it, but I'm left angry and frustrated because I don't know what we can do to change anything. "

" One of the best books I have ever read. It contains a dense collection of knowledge regarding U.S. Foreign Policy. Be ready for a life changing experience. "

" Taken from recent speeches and lectures on different topics, this doesn't have the power of something like Hegemony or Survival where everything ties together as a whole. This does have the advantage of being the most up-to-date book of his on domestic and foreign policy issues. "

" this one's for the complainers who are not familiar with Chomsky's recommendations on choices for action "
