Is there an alternative to capitalism? In this landmark text Chomsky and Waterstone chart a critical map for a more just and sustainable society.

“Covid-19 has revealed glaring failures and monstrous brutalities in the current capitalist system. It represents both a crisis and an opportunity.... Everything depends on the actions that people take into their own hands.” - From the afterword

How do politics shape our world, our lives, and our perceptions? How much of “common sense” is actually driven by the ruling class’ needs and interests? And how are we to challenge the capitalist structures that now threaten all life on the planet?

Consequences of Capitalism exposes the deep, often unseen, connections between neoliberal “common sense” and structural power. In making these linkages, we see how the current hegemony keeps social justice movements divided and marginalized. And, most importantly, we see how we can fight to overcome these divisions.

The content of his lectures is quite alarming as American democracy is dying. He and Howard Zinn have really spelled out the treachery that is coming not only to the US but to the world. Fascism will happen again
but they will call it democracy.

All citizens need to hear this book.

It is impossible to listen to this audiobook without coming away with seismic shifts in your view of the world. This from a former Tea Party Conservative who feared Noam Chomsky as a direct result of conservative media pundits who feared people like me listening to him.

a very rational, and well articulated book. But it does not at any point go outside its basic theme of capitalism is evil, Marxism is good.

Good, but biased

Connects all the dots. Social transformation is not about simply eliminating a particular behavior, it is about transforming the system(s) that gives rise to that behavior in the first place. 👌🏾

This is one of the most comprehensive, well researched, and accessible books about what capitalism is and what its limitations and consequences truly are. I cannot recommend this book enough for anyone wanting deeper insight into the many problems facing America today!

Excellent!

Every working person in the country should listen to or read this work. It is very educational.

Classic

Wish more people knew that all our problems come from the capitalists that control everything and these people tell us to be mad at people who are also facing the same problems. It just prolongs our exploitation.

Should be required reading in school

Noam and Marv collectively, with evidence and sources, derail and obliterate what is taken for "commin history" in schools across American high schools. The book will cut your identity asunder and replace it with gripping reality. A crash course for all political science.
