Because We Say So (häftad, eng)

Because We Say So is Noam Chomsky''s essential counter punch to American hegemony

In 1962, the eminent statesman Dean Acheson enunciated a principle that has dominated global politics ever since: that no legal issue arises when the United States responds to a challenge to its ''power, position, and prestige''In short, whatever the world may think, U.S. actions are legitimate because they say so.

Spanning the impact of Edward Snowden''s whistleblowing and Palestinian-Israeli relations to deeper reflections on political philosophy and the importance of a commons to democracy, Because We Say So takes American imperialism head on.
