Who Rules the World? by Noam Chomsky

5.0

This is a great book to read. Chomsky deals a fair bit with the Middle East and US hegemonic practices. Plenty of criticism levied against George HW, George W, Clinton and Obama. Chomsky as usual takes you on a critical journey one which must be made to truly understand the geopolitical order. For example, the US assassinated Bin Laden without a warrant, but if any other country does so, it faces "international" (meaning US) condemnation, which see Khashoggi.

The most important issue Chomsky raises is the corruption of the GOP who rely on big money to support their elections and upon the non-college educated white and evangelicals who are told they are being marginalised. Then the move of the centrist left to the side of the once GOP right. Trump successfully identified this rift and existential threat to further shift the GOP as an ultra right wing party.
