What We Say Goes: Conversations on U.S. Power in a Changing World Audiobook

" There is no question that Noam Chomsky is one of the worlds great thinkers...critics and followers alike have agreed on this fact. In what we say goes we the collective reader get a cliff notes version of many of Chomsky's very complex and researched thoughts on media/world power. This makes for a very easy and quick read, but does little to add to Mr Chomsky's library of original thoughts. Kind of like a remix album for social science. "

" He's brilliant as always--I listened to this as an audiobook and he speaks in such a wonderfully rational tone. It's also good to hear how things have improved since the 1960's in terms of public discourse. I can never get enough Noam. "

" I enjoy reading Noam Chomsky books. I learned alot about how the U.S. is directly involved in the middle east political process. "

" For me, the most readable of Chomsky's books that I've read so far. The conversational style of the book keeps the vast amount of information being presented from being overwhelming. Lucid. Concise. This book is as relevant as it gets these days. "

" Always interesting to read Chomsky, though this is more like a series of questions which he answers. The usual suspects: Israel/Palestine, Iran & Iraq & the US arming fundamentalists, Latin America, all Chomsky's favorite topics. Quick and easy reading, if you like this sort of thing.... "

" Much more of the same from Chomsky, a quick read- about 50% is fascinating, the rest is repeat. "

" It's Noam Chomsky, so it has equal elements of blinding brilliance and unhelpful hindsight. But he's always provocative and intelligent. "

" Chomsky opened me to the idea of a "framework for thinkable thoughts". That there can be an imagined spectrum that is really only a very narrow interpretation of events. In this book he really blew me away with his take on our Foreign Policy "

" makes you think about things a little differently... "

" Chomsky makes so much sense. "

" I fucken love Noam Chomsky. "

" Noam = Liberal Fascist "

" Read this. It's readable. And it's upsetting. Anyone planning on voting, and everyone should be planning on voting, should take a gander at some of these chapters to see just what we get in our representative democracy. "

" It's not that Chomsky's analyses of the U.S. use of imperial power are bad or anything; they're always well thought out and thorough. It's just that, at this point, if you've read one, you've read a dozen. "

" Noamy boy has done it again. Great reading for anyone interested in the seedy underbelly of U.S. foreign policy. "

" A small book packed with serious thoughts on how the US has positioned itself in the world. Very fitting during these primary election periods. These are topics that need more public discussion and debate. Interesting comments on the media, including the NYT. "

" Enjoyable as I find all his books, this one especially as I listened to the audiobook version, which was a recording of David interviewing Noam. "

" Noam hit the nail on the head with this one, everything is referenced and backed up, it all makes sense and you know it's true. Read and take it for what it is, I think you'll like it if you can get through how sad of a situation we are in. "

" A surprisngly easy read giving a particular view of american foreign policy. Liked the Q&A format and am impressed enough to seek out his other books. "

" Absolutely essential reading to understand our 20th and early 21st century American empire. Why it can't last and how the rest of the world is gearing up to resist and also deal with our decline. Noam Chomsky has never been clearer, in my opinion, as in this book. "

" more noam interviews. not as good as imperial ambitions, but solid, solid stuff. dude's 175 and still wicked sharp "

" Excellent audio book. Chomsky is genius...after a while interview sounds like--'ask chomsky anything, and get his opinion...' "
