Because We Say So

Because We Say So is Noam Chomsky`s essential counter punch to American hegemony In 1962, the eminent statesman Dean Acheson enunciated a principle that has dominated global politics ever since: that no legal issue arises when the United States responds to a challenge to its `power, position, and prestige`. In short, whatever the world may think, U.S. actions are legitimate because they say so. Spanning the impact of Edward Snowden`s whistleblowing and Palestinian-Israeli relations to deeper reflections on political philosophy and the importance of a commons to democracy, Because We Say So takes American imperialism head on. `Noam Chomsky is one of a small band of individuals fighting a whole industry. And that makes him not only brilliant, but heroic` Arundhati Roy `The world`s greatest public intellectual` Observer
