{"product_id":"9781593764272","title":"How The World Works","description":"According to \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, Noam Chomsky is arguably the most important intellectual alive. But he isn t easy to read . . . or at least he wasn t until these books came along. Made up of intensively edited speeches and interviews, they offer something not found anywhere else: pure Chomsky, with every dazzling idea and penetrating insight intact, delivered in clear, accessible, reader-friendly prose. Published as four short books in the famous \u003ci\u003eReal Story\u003c\/i\u003e series\u003ci\u003eWhat Uncle Sam Really Wants\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eThe Prosperous Few and the Restless Many\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eSecrets, Lies and Democracy\u003c\/i\u003e; and \u003ci\u003eThe Common Good\u003c\/i\u003ethey ve collectively sold almost 600,000 copies. And they continue to sell year after year after year because Chomsky s ideas become, if anything, \u003ci\u003emore\u003c\/i\u003e relevant as time goes by. For example, twenty years ago he pointed out that in 1970, about 90% of international capital was used for trade and long-term investmentmore or less productive thingsand 10% for speculation. By 1990, those figures had reversed. As we know, speculation continued to increase exponentially. We re paying the price now for not heeding him them.\"","brand":"Noam Chomsky","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46949014176062,"sku":"9781593764272","price":497.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9781593764272_2148208f-8e3c-49da-9b92-bc374d81a853.jpg?v=1707561949","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9781593764272","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
