Synopsis "Malestar Global (in Spanish)"

En las entrevistas incluidas en este nuevo libro, Chomsky examina los últimos acontecimientos que tienen lugar alrededor del globo: el ascenso del Estado Islámico, el alcance del Estado policial que se ha instrumentado poco a poco en el ciberespacio, el malestar social ante políticas económicas que incrementan la brecha de la desigualdad social, los conflictos en Oriente Medio y, por supuesto, el ascenso de Donald Trump a la presidencia de Estados Unidos. En notas más personales, también aborda su propia infancia en Filadelfia y su trayectoria hasta convertirse en el disidente número uno de Estados Unidos y del establishment.

Noam Chomsky (born in 1928) is an American linguist, philosopher, and political activist, considered one of the most influential intellectual figures of the 20th century. He revolutionized linguistics with his theory of generative grammar, introduced in Syntactic Structures (1957), and further developed in Aspects of the Theory of Syntax (1965). His approach transformed the study of language, linking it to cognition and the human mind. In 2019, he was awarded the BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award in Humanities for his exceptional contributions to the study of human language.

In addition to his work in linguistics, Chomsky is known for his critique of the media and US foreign policy. Along with Edward S. Herman, he co-wrote Manufacturing Consent (1988), where they present the model of media propaganda. Other notable works include Hegemony or Survival (2003), which analyzes US foreign policy, and Reflections on Language (1975), where he defends a rationalist perspective on human nature. His output spans political essays, linguistics, and philosophy, consolidating his legacy as a critical and multidisciplinary thinker.
