World Orders, Old and New by Noam Chomsky

World Orders, Old and New by Noam Chomsky

In this widely acclaimed study of global politics, Chomsky offers a devastating critique of conventional definitions of the ‘new world order’. It is, he argues, nothing more than an ingenious piece of ‘historical engineering’, whereby the pretexts for the Cold War - nuclear threat, Eastern Bloc menace - have been deftly replaced by a new set of convenient justifications for a Western agenda that remains largely unchanged. Now with a new and extensive epilogue on the Middle East, World Orders Old And New is as relevant now as when it was first published.

'The most we can hope for I suppose is that every reporter might one day carry World Orders, Old and New around in his back pocket' -- Robert Fisk, Independent
'Chomsky's work is neither theoretical, nor ideological: it is passionate and righteousIt has some of the qualities of Revelations, the Old Testament prophets and Blake' -- Ken Jowitt, TLS
