Failed States: The Abuse of Power and the Assault on Democracy Noam Chomsky
Another provocative, accurate, and deeply troubling analysis of U. S. state power, foreign policy, and the work to undermine democracy at home. Extremely well researched and documented. He sees the current state of internal U. S. politics and the American hegemony the way I do, and he makes a great case. The first half of the book covers much the same ground as Hegemony or Survival, but the second half really gets at what is going on to undermine democracy around the world, as well as here at home. A very, very valuable book.
