    About this audiobook

    In The Precipice, Noam Chomsky sheds light into the phenomenon of Trumpism, exposes the catastrophic nature and impact of Trump's policies on people, the environment, and the planet as a whole, and captures the dynamics of the brutal class warfare launched by the masters of capital to maintain and even enhance the features of a dog-eat-dog society to the unprecedented mobilization of millions of people against neoliberal capitalism, racism, and police violence.

    • 5/5
      An important series of interviews, sobering, thoughtful and evidence-based, reviewing how the %.1 - the ruling class of corporate elites, heads of state and captains of industry, both democrats and republicans, if republicans more ferociously - continue their work to bring organized human life to the precipice of extinction. The history and rise of neoliberalism, AKA market fundamentalism, is laid bare as the most advanced form of capitalist exploitation in existence. In short, the book discusses how the rich are killing the poor and the planet, and provides an urgent plea to organize for a better world, or accept that for most life on earth, there won't be any world left at all.
