Politics. Social Criticism. "There's no doubt that one of the major issues of twentieth century history, surely in the US, is corporate propaganda. . . Its goal from the beginning, perfectly openly and consciously, was to 'control the public mind,' as they put it. The reason was that the public mind was seen as the greatest threat to corporations"--Noam Chomsky, from the CD. This is the latest in the audio series bringing Chomsky's finest lectures to compact disc.
