Histoire
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.

It can be said of very few books that the world was changed as a result of its publication - but this is certainly the case of Capital: A Critique of Political Economy by Karl Marx (1818-1883). Volume 1 appeared (in German) in 1867, and the two subsequent volumes appeared at later dates after the author's death - completed from extensive notes left by Marx himself.

In his 1988 CBC Massey Lecture, Noam Chomsky inquires into the nature of the media in a political system where the population cannot be disciplined by force and thus must be subjected to more subtle forms of ideological control. Specific cases are illustrated in detail, using the U.S. media primarily but also media in other societies.

Histoire
On Anarchism provides the reasoning behind Noam Chomsky's fearless lifelong questioning of the legitimacy of entrenched power. In these essays, Chomsky redeems one of the most maligned ideologies, anarchism, and places it at the foundation of his political thinking. Chomsky's anarchism is distinctly optimistic and egalitarian. Moreover, it is a living, evolving tradition that is situated in a historical lineage; Chomsky's anarchism emphasizes the power of collective, rather than individualist, action.

This collection of 11 wide-ranging lectures which appeared originally in 1933, was based on lectures previously given when Jung was in the process of absorbing a considerable period of study of Eastern religions, Gnosticism and other religious sources. It was a time, according to the translator Cary F. Baynes, ‘when the Western world stands on the verge of a spiritual rebirth...after a long period of outward expansion, we are beginning to look inside ourselves once more.’

Histoire
All Against All is the story of the season our world changed from postwar to prewar again. It is about the power of bad ideas - exploring why, during a single winter, between November 1932 and April 1933, so much went so wrong. Historian Paul Jankowski reveals that it was collective mentalities and popular beliefs that drove this crucial period that sent nations on the path to war, as much as any rational calculus called "national interest".

What are the grand dynamics that drive the accumulation and distribution of capital? Questions about the long-term evolution of inequality, the concentration of wealth, and the prospects for economic growth lie at the heart of political economy. But satisfactory answers have been hard to find for lack of adequate data and clear guiding theories.

Histoire
This is the first volume in a bold new series that tells the stories of all peoples, connecting historical events from Europe to the Middle East to the far coast of China, while still giving weight to the characteristics of each country. Susan Wise Bauer provides both sweeping scope and vivid attention to the individual lives that give flesh to abstract assertions about human history. This narrative history employs the methods of "history from beneath" - literature, epic traditions, private letters, and accounts - to connect kings and leaders with the lives of those they ruled.

Titan is the first full-length biography based on unrestricted access to Rockefeller’s exceptionally rich trove of papers. A landmark publication full of startling revelations, the book indelibly alters our image of this most enigmatic capitalist. Born the son of a flamboyant, bigamous snake-oil salesman and a pious, straitlaced mother, Rockefeller rose from rustic origins to become the world’s richest man by creating America’s most powerful and feared monopoly, Standard Oil. Branded "the Octopus" by legions of muckrakers, the trust refined and marketed nearly 90 percent of the oil produced in America.

In this gripping work, bestselling author Tim Marshall navigates the new geopolitical landscape to show how we got here and where we’re heading.

Histoire
Here, anthropologist David Graeber presents a stunning reversal of conventional wisdom: He shows that before there was money, there was debt. For more than 5,000 years, since the beginnings of the first agrarian empires, humans have used elaborate credit systems to buy and sell goods - that is, long before the invention of coins or cash. It is in this era, Graeber argues, that we also first encounter a society divided into debtors and creditors.

Description
A major new collection from "arguably the most important intellectual alive" (The New York Times). Noam Chomsky is universally accepted as one of the preeminent public intellectuals of the modern era. Over the past thirty years, broadly diverse audiences have gathered to attend his sold-out lectures. Now, in Understanding Power, Peter Mitchell and John Schoeffel have assembled the best of Chomsky's recent talks on the past, present, and future of the politics of power.
In a series of enlightening and wide-ranging discussions, all published here for the first time, Chomsky radically reinterprets the events of the past three decades, covering topics from foreign policy during Vietnam to the decline of welfare under the Clinton administration. And as he elucidates the connection between America's imperialistic foreign policy and the decline of domestic social services, Chomsky also discerns the necessary steps to take toward social change. With an eye to political activism and the media's role in popular struggle, as well as U.S. foreign and domestic policy, Understanding Power offers a sweeping critique of the world around us and is definitive Chomsky. Characterized by Chomsky's accessible and informative style, this is the ideal book for those new to his work as well as for those who have been listening for years.

gr8 narrator! gr8 content!
First off, the narrator simply SLAYS IT. His performance is beyond wicked, it is downright killer. Great job, honestly, truly great job.
As for the content, this book should be required reading for all school kids aged 12 to 18. It should be mandatory reading for all university students as well. This is one of the greatest collection of words, ideas, sentiments that I have yet come across.
Just for the record, during the global pandemic when millions died and billions were effected, Jeff Bezos who owns Audible flew to space on a joy ride. I hope his family line extinguishes for this. This book exposes exactly what 'people' like Bezos are all about.

Good compilation. Not good narration.
This is a good lightly edited collection of Chomsky’s political thought. A good entry point.
The narrator doesn’t know how to pronounce a lot of the names though, which is a little distracting: from rather frequently occurring ones (pronouncing ‘Noam’ to rhyme with ‘Tom’), to rather less frequent but still surprising ones (for instance putting stress on the ‘e’ in ‘Kaynesian’).

Truly essential Chomsky
If you've ever come across a Noam Chomsky quote that seemed to speak to you on some level, this book is a must-read. You will establish an understanding of Noam's life experience being a deliberate part of a shunned intellectual culture in one of the more ideologically regressive countries of our time. That may not make much sense to you now, but trust me, it will once you've finished this title. He's often regarded as "one of the most important thinkers of our time", he's well deserving of the title. Be awed at the veracity and breadth of this mans knowledge of the happenings of the 20th and 21st century. He has been alive for all of America's time as a world superpower, and has watched the growth and development of the current political, intellectual and sociological climate we live in. He's never afraid to say what he thinks, despite that content limiting his audience and appeal to the media. He's someone to truly look up to, for all the right reasons, and this book will help audiences interested see the world through his brilliant mind. #Audible1

The last three chapters are pretty much a description of the way things are today - except they came from talks that were given almost thirty years ago. Really essential reading.

when though it is dated (70's - 99), he points out a mindset and method of governance that can be more easily identity what is happened today, twenty years later. it is truly indispensable.

Struggled to get through it.
(Gloomy and arrogant) apocalyptic preaching rarely comes to fruition. This is no exception.
The narration is painful to listen to - why they couldn’t have an actual woman reading the women’s questions instead of the narrator making a pathetic attempt to sound like a female is beyond me.
