Noam Chomsky is one of the most cited scholars in history and has profoundly shaped contemporary understanding of American politics. An ally of anarcho-syndicalists the world over, he has authored numerous books on linguistics, history and politics. He is Institute Professor (emeritus) in the Department of Linguistics and Philosophy at MIT, and Laureate Professor of Linguistics and Agnese Nelms Haury Chair in the Program in Environment and Social Justice at the University of Arizona.
'Judged in terms of the power, range, novelty, and influence of his thought, Noam Chomsky is arguably the most important intellectual alive'
The New York Times
'On the one hand we have the established media, the respectable community of foreign affairs analysts, the government -
on the other, Noam Chomsky'
The Nation
'For Chomsky, the 'official doctrine' of military intervention to safeguard human rights is as much a sham as the 'New World Order' trumpeted during the Gulf War'
