Amazon.com description: Product Description: Estados Unidos ha reafirmado su derecho a intervenir militarmente contra los «estados fallidos» de todo el mundo. En esta esperada continuación de Hegemonía o supervivencia, Noam Chomsky aborda la cuestión desde otro punto de vista y nos muestra que Estados Unidos comparte rasgos con otros estados fallidos, y en consecuencia supone un peligro cada vez mayor para sus habitantes y el mundo. / Forget Iraq and Sudan--America is the foremost failed state, argues the latest polemic from America's most controversial Left intellectual. Chomsky (Imperial Ambitions) contends the U.S. government wallows in lawless military aggression (the Iraq war is merely the latest example); ignores public opinion on everything from global warming to social spending and foreign policy; and jeopardizes domestic security by under-funding homeland defense in favor of tax cuts for the rich and by provoking hatred and instability abroad that may lead to terrorist blowback or nuclear conflict. Ranging haphazardly from the Seminole War forward, Chomsky's jeremiad views American interventionism as a pageant of imperialist power-plays motivated by crass business interests.
