It's eye-opening, but when I'm reading it, it makes me feel like everything very faintly smells of shit. In case you were wondering, American foreign policy is pretty imperialistic according to the author's point of view and it is very heavily backed up. But few industrialized or industrializing countries escape scrutiny. Whether you agree with Chomsky or not, it's worth knowing what he has to say. Easily digestible language, even if the subject matter is very hard to swallow. Super depressing. Why do I read this stuff in my spare time? What the hell is wrong with me?
