Noam Chomsky needs no introduction. His incisive critique of the capitalist system, American imperialism, the media, and every form of oppression and exploitation has solidified the reputation of the American political thinker while simultaneously provoking various comments and discussions.

The writings collected in this volume reveal another dimension of his work: his relationship with the anarchist movement and how it has influenced his thinking. How relevant is a discussion about anarchism today? Can the anarchist movement provoke social change? Chomsky questions, provokes, and poses significant inquiries.

He emphasizes what he sees as the essence of anarchism: the necessity of authority must be proven. He sketches his vision for a radical restructuring of society without hierarchical structures, for a world where every individual participates directly in the decisions that affect their lives.

Most importantly: he reaffirms his understanding of how we should organize our lives in light of the difficult struggles of today and tomorrow.
