This is a timely book that addresses some pressing issues and difficulities facing America as a nation, a society, and a people. Seriously critical on the various ills of the American government and business greed, it shows that these problems could stop America's progress completely. Very good read.
But at the same time, the author has not addressed sufficiently enough on a changing world, especially due to the emergence of many poor nations like China and India. These newly emerging nations could pose serious challenges. But a better mindset is that such competitions will help the US to gain strengths, not the other way around, provided that Americans can quickly adapt to the changing global life. For this, read: 1. China's global reach; and 2. China and the new world order, both books are written by the outspoken Chinese journalist george zhibin gu, that offers sweeping insights on changing global business, trade and politics.

Chomsky offers a critical exam over American governmental affairs and policies. He claims that the American government has hardly represented the interest of the society and people for long. Instead, it has served its own interest. This sort of criticism is provocative and serious. Maybe there is some truth there. But at the same time, let us not forget that a self-appointed government can do more harm. For this, read the two brilliant books by the outspoken Chinese journalist George Zhibin Gu: 1. China's global reach; and 2. China and the new world order. Both books detail the disastrous experiences of self-appointed government.
