Profit Over People: Neoliberalism & Global Order. Noam Chomsky

The culprit in all cases is neoliberal ideology—the belief in the su­premacy of "free" markets to drive and govern human affairs. And in the years since the initial publication of Noam Chomsky's Profit Over People: Neoliberalism and Global Order, the bitter vines of neoliberal­ism have only twisted themselves further into the world economy, ob­literating the public’s voice in public affairs and substituting the bottom line in place of people’s basic obligation to care for one another as ends in themselves. In Profit Over People, Chomsky reveals the roots of the present crisis, tracing the history of neoliberalism through an in­cisive analysis of free trade agreements of the 1990s, the World Trade Organization, and the International Monetary Fund—and de­scribes the movements of resistance to the increasing interference by the private sector in global affairs.

In the years since the initial publication of Profit Over People, the stakes have only risen. Now more than ever, Profit Over People is one of the key texts explaining how the crisis facing us operates—and how, through Chomsky’s analysis of resistance, we may find an es­cape from the closing net.
