«Because We Say So» is Noam Chomsky's essay on American imperialism, published by Penguin Books in paperback (208 pages, in English).
Chomsky starts from the principle stated in 1962 by Dean Acheson: the United States can respond to any challenge to its power without a legal question being raised, because its actions are considered legitimate by the mere fact of deciding them. The book analyses American hegemony through topics such as Edward Snowden's leaks, relations between Palestine and Israel and the workings of democracy, with reflections on political philosophy and the commons.
Work originally published in 2016 by Penguin Books, with 208 pages and full text in English.
Aimed at readers interested in international politics, political philosophy and critical thought on US hegemony.
Avram Noam Chomsky is an American intellectual, philosopher, linguist, political activist, and social critic. Sometimes called "the father of modern linguistics", Chomsky is also a major figure in analytic philosophy and one of the founders of the field of cognitive science. He is a laureate professor of linguistics at the University of Arizona and an institute professor emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Among the most cited living authors, Chomsky has written more than 150 books on topics such as linguistics, war, and politics. In addition to his work in linguistics, since the 1960s, Chomsky has been an influential voice on the American Left as a consistent critic of the foreign policy of the United States, contemporary capitalism, and corporatocracy.
