Interview — Noam Chomsky on America's Economic Suicide

Noam Chomsky has not just been watching the Occupy movement. A veteran of the civil rights, anti-war, and anti-intervention movements of the 1960s through the 1980s, he's given lectures at Occupy Boston and talked with occupiers across the US.  His new book, Occupy, published in the Occupied Media Pamphlet Series by Zuccotti Park Press brings together several of those lectures, a speech on “occupying foreign policy” and a brief tribute to his friend and co-agitator Howard Zinn.

True, he lacks "concision."

Yes, this stuff is pervasive. Chomsky is very intelligent and does his homework, too. I am surprised he is taken in by this, and that no one has clued him in on the reality of the present monetary system.
