Synopsis "Cambiar o morir (in Spanish)"

La crisis generada por el Covid-19, cuyo origen no se puede explicar sin considerar la degradación del medioambiente y la depredación de la biodiversidad, subraya la necesidad de revisar los supuestos que orientan la relación del ser humano con la naturaleza.
Sin embargo, una densa trama de intereses económicos, en especial relacionados con la poderosa industria petrolera, se interpone en esta tarea. En este libro urgente y profundo, Noam Chomsky, uno de los grandes intelectuales de nuestra época y una poderosa voz moral a nivel mundial, junto al prestigioso economista Robert Pollin, estudioso de las causas del calentamiento global, analizan la economía política del cambio climático y su imbricación con el modelo neoliberal de producción y la globalización financiera.

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.
