great intro to Chomsky. This is an overview of many of Chomsky's ideas that would be a great intro to anyone interested in his work. It's in question/answer format and covers a very wide range of topics. The footnotes also refer to a website that has more detailed material on the topics covered.

Moral Politics. Generational brilliance of Chomsky’s kind is not only to be admired, but heeded. This collection of his talks on power is testament to how insightful and observant he has been when it comes to all things America. That style of weaving the power politics in with the lived experiences on the ground is what makes him so reachable. This is an unrelenting attack on a government rife in criminality of epic proportions and a citizenry blind to the fact. Or at least carefully mislead into being walked down the path towards fascism and despondency. Chomsky underscores again and again the lack of a critical lens across the majority of the populace for filtering information from the government, news, and corporations. That thread of blindness to reality is what he builds from to deliver a detailed breakdown on who has power, how they maintain it, why it matters, and what we can do about it. For all the doom and gloom of his tone, he does offer up hope and a playbook for how to fight back. A resistance rooted in an innate call to values over profit along with the paradigm shifting power of organizing at the grassroots level.

Thought proving and revelatory. As a collection of talks and Q&As, I found Understanding Power to be one of Chomsky’s most accessible books. There were plenty of moments where I was completely shocked by what he was saying and frankly in disbelief, but the most incredible thing about this book is how everything is sourced and listed at UnderstandingPower.com , a whopping 449 pages worth of sources. Truly one of the greatest intellectual minds of the last century.
