«El beneficio es lo que cuenta» is Noam Chomsky's essay on neoliberalism and the global order, published by Booket in paperback.
The essay critiques neoliberalism and the global order: it analyses the myth of the market, the influence of media controlled by corporate interests, the weight of bodies such as the WTO or the IMF, and the effects of social cuts. Chomsky proposes as an alternative citizen participation and the mobilisation of grassroots organisations to achieve a global democracy that defends the rights of all.
The English original, Profit Over People: Neoliberalism & Global Order, appeared in 1998; this Spanish edition came out in 2001 in the Biblioteca de Bolsillo collection.
A work suitable for readers interested in political critique, analysis of globalisation and the role of social movements.
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.
