Drawing on a wide range of examples, from the sordid history of U.S. involvement with Cuba to the sanctions on Iran, he details how America's rhetoric of freedom and human rights so often diverges from its actions. He delves deep into the conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Israel-Palestine, providing unexpected and nuanced insights into the workings of imperial power on our increasingly chaotic planet. And, in a new afterword, he addresses the election of Donald Trump and what it shows about American society. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFierce, unsparing, and meticulously documented, \u003ci\u003eWho Rules the World?\u003c\/i\u003e delivers the indispensable understanding of the central issues of our time that we have come to expect from Chomsky. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eAn American Empire Project\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNoam Chomsky \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of numerous bestselling political works, including \u003ci\u003eHegemony or Survival\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eFailed States\u003c\/i\u003e.
