Si nous voulons ébranler, voire abolir, les structures capitalistes qui menacent aujourd'hui toute vie sur la planète, Noam Chomsky et Marv Waterstone affirment avec force qu'il faut commencer par réévaluer les outils que nous utilisons pour interpréter le monde. C'est ce qu'ils démontrent dans ce livre tiré d'un cours qu'ils ont donné ensemble à l'université de l'Arizona, en faisant ressortir les liens souvent imperceptibles entre la fabrique...

Estos son los hombres que han robado al mundo entero
Hace tiempo, si un funcionario robaba, podía comprarse un coche o construirse una casa nueva, pero eso era todo. Si continuaba robando, el dinero se acumulaba hasta que no quedaba espacio donde ocultarlo o se lo comían los ratones.
