In \u003cem\u003eOn Anarchism\u003c\/em\u003e, radical linguist, philosopher, and activist Noam Chomsky provides it. Known for his brilliant evisceration of American foreign policy, state capitalism, and the mainstream media, Chomsky remains a formidable and unapologetic critic of established authority and perhaps the world's most famous anarchist.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOn Anarchism\u003c\/em\u003e sheds a much-needed light on the foundations of Chomsky's thought, specifically his constant questioning of the legitimacy of entrenched power. The book gathers his essays and interviews to provide a short, accessible introduction to his distinctively optimistic brand of anarchism. Chomsky eloquently refutes the notion of anarchism as a fixed idea, suggesting that it is part of a living, evolving tradition, and he disputes the traditional fault lines between anarchism and socialism, emphasizing the power of collective, rather than individualist, action.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIncluding a retrospective interview with Chomsky where the author assesses his writings on anarchism to date, this is a book that is sure to challenge, provoke, and inspire. Profoundly relevant to our times, \u003cem\u003eOn Anarchism\u003c\/em\u003e is a touchstone for political activists and anyone interested in deepening their understanding of anarchism and the power of collective action.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49572582883601,"sku":"GOR003498679","price":3.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":49759376441617,"sku":"CIN0811810194A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50278287573265,"sku":"CIN0811810194VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52104966308113,"sku":"CIN0811810194G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0811810194.jpg?v=1751043500","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/phyllo-book-jill-o-connor-9780811810197","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
