PRAISE FOR NOAM CHOMSKY'S OCCUPY AND ZUCCOTTI PARK PRESS: -Occupy is ather vital contribution from Chomsky to the literature of defiance and protest, and a red-hot rallying call to forge a better, more egalitarian future.---Alternet -For decades, Chomsky has been marginalized for his insightful, levelheaded, and accurate observations about how our society functions. In Occupy, Chomsky... sets the record straight. And he's got an answer for everything. -It's necessary, - Chomsky warns, -to get out into the country and get people to understand what this is about, and what they can do about it, and what the consequences are of t doing anything about it.- Occupy begins with a powerful editor's te from Greg Ruggiero, who comments on 'the heartlessness and inhumanity of the system, ' where 'people's stolen homes are sold off to the highest bidder.' And if it isn't obvious to those who are still asking what the demands of Occupy Wall Street are, Ruggiero puts it plainly: 'Occupy embodies a vision of democracy that is fundamentally antagonistic to the management of society as a corporate-controlled space that funds a political system to serve the wealthy, igre the poor.' One can only cringe at the thought of what will happen if we continue to igre the wisdom of Noam Chomsky. He gives a clue in Occupy....---The Coffin Factory, The Magazine for People who Love Books Chomsky advocates intelligent activism by those who see the divorce between public policy and public opinion. He is both optimistic and realistic towards this -first major public response to 30 years of class war.---IRISH TIMES, PICK REVIEW -Occupy, is at once a vivid portrait of the w-global movement and a practical guide to intelligent activism, infused with Chomsky's signature meditations on everything from how the wealthiest 1% came to steer society to what a healthy democracy would look like to how we can separate money from politics. Alongside Chomsky's words are some of the most moving and provocative photographs from the Occupy movement.---Maria Popova, Brain Pickings -Having spent so much time thinking about and engaging with social movements, Chomsky is both optimistic about the energy of Occupy and realistic about the challenges it faces. He appreciates the -just do it- ethos and embraces its radical approach to participatory democracy...What makes Chomsky's perspective so interesting, aside from the wealth of his political experience, is the range of his interests. He draws from examples around the world to demonstrate his points. ...It's a big agenda that Occupy has identified, thing less than a complete renewal of U.S. society and the U.S. role in the world. Chomsky sees t only the radical agenda but also the radical practice of the Occupiers. -Part of what functioning, free communities like the Occupy communities can be working for and spreading to others is just a different way of living, which is t based on maximizing consumer goods, but on maximizing values that are important for life, - he concludes in this valuable set of remarks and interviews.---John Feffer, Foreign Policy in Focus, Pick Review In this updated and expanded edition of Occupy, Chomsky speaks to and with supporters of the Occupy movement about the structural injustices of the current ecomic and political system and the prospects for real change. The new edition includes all the material of the first edition plus four new in-depth interviews. Throughout, Chomsky encourages people to continue organizing, to continue struggling, and to continue defending citizenship and community-driven democracy from predation from the relentless encroachments of corporate power and wealthiest few. What counts most, says Chomsky, is solidarity.
