The Corporate Assault on Democracy
Imagine living in a world where the economic system you're told represents freedom is actually designed to benefit a small elite at the expense of democratic principles. This is the world Noam Chomsky exposes in "Profit Over People." Since its publication, the book has become required reading in political science departments worldwide, influencing generations of activists including figures like Bernie Sanders. Its examination of neoliberalism has only grown more relevant as income inequality reaches historic levels. The fundamental question Chomsky poses is disarmingly simple yet profound: What if the economic doctrine celebrated in mainstream discourse actually undermines the democratic values it claims to uphold?
