In this recent collection of interviews, Noam Chomsky offers insightful observations about the institutions that shape public opinion and serve power and profit. Chomsky demonstrates, whether it is the escalation of military operations in Colombia, social security, or increasing global inequality, that ordinary citizens, if they work together, have the power to bring about significant change.

"In 'Propaganda and the Public Mind,' we are provided with a unique and penetrating insight into Noam Chomsky's enlightening analyses over the decades... in a concise volume edited by the brilliant radio journalist David Barsamian. Chomsky and Barsamian clarify that new electronic media and their corporate culture ignore national borders and, in this sense, surpass the power of individual nations whose borders can be crossed with great ease."
