Book Synopsis



Una advertencia sobre la amenaza que el poder de EE. UU representa para el futuro y los mitos nacionales que lo respaldan.


El mito del idealismo americano ofrece una introducción oportuna y exhaustiva a las incisivas críticas del poder estadounidense que han convertido a Noam Chomsky en un "fenómeno global," uno de los intelectuales públicos más importantes de todos los tiempos. Examinando la historia de la actividad militar y económica de EE.UU. en todo el mundo, Chomsky y Nathan J. Robinson analizan vívidamente cómo la búsqueda estadounidense de la dominación global ha causado estragos país tras país, sin, irónicamente, hacer a sus ciudadanos más seguros.


Además, exploran cómo las élites dominantes han promovido mitos interesados sobre el compromiso del país con "la difusión de la democracia," mientras persiguen una política exterior imprudente que beneficia a unos pocos y pone en peligro a muchos. Examinando la proliferación nuclear y el cambio climático, muestran cómo las políticas estadounidenses siguen exacerbando las amenazas globales.


A la vez exhaustivo y devastador, urgente y provocador, El mito del idealismo americano brinda una entrada altamente legible a las conclusiones a las que ha llegado después de toda una vida de reflexión y activismo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A warning about the threat posed by U.S. power to the future--and the national myths that sustain it.


The Myth of American Idealism offers a timely and comprehensive introduction to the sharp critiques of U.S. power that have made Noam Chomsky a "global phenomenon," one of the most important public intellectuals of all time. Examining the history of U.S. military and economic activity around the world, Chomsky and Nathan J. Robinson vividly analyze how America's pursuit of global dominance has wreaked havoc country after country--without, ironically, making its own citizens any safer.


They also explore how ruling elites have promoted self-serving myths about the country's commitment to "spreading democracy," while pursuing a reckless foreign policy that benefits the few and endangers the many. By examining nuclear proliferation and climate change, they show how U.S. policies continue to exacerbate global threats.


At once thorough and devastating, urgent and provocative, The Myth of American Idealism offers a highly readable entry point into the conclusions Chomsky has reached after a lifetime of reflection and activism.
