Synopsis "Lo que Decimos, se Hace (in Spanish)"

Un libro crítico cuya lectura sólo puede provocar indignación.La política exterior de Estados Unidos tiene demasiados frentes abiertos. Las últimas administraciones, ligadas a grupos de presión y al complejo tecnológico-militar, han llevado al mundo al caos. Irán, Corea del Norte, el conflicto de Oriente Medio, el Líbano, las guerras en Afganistán e Irak, el ascenso imparable de China…Son sólo algunos de los temas que el profesor Chomsky aborda en este libro, muy crítico con el imperio norteamericano, cuya lectura sólo puede provocar indignación.

«Indispensable.» The Boston Globe«Chomsky critica a esos periodistas e intelectuales que cuando informan sobre la actualidad no cuestionan los supuestos bajo los que Estados Unidos actúa, unos supuestos que han dado forma al debate de tal manera que sólo los detalles son materia de discusión. El planteamiento de Chomsky es estimulante.» Library Journal

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.
