Chomsky At Guernica

Michael Berger bio ↓  ·  November 19th, 2009  ·  filed under books, politics

“The people we call intellectuals aren’t necessarily smarter or more knowledgeable than anyone else. But they happen to have a lot of privilege, and privilege confers responsibility. And so they oughta do things. I don’t expect them to.”

At Guernica this month, Joel Whitney interviews Noam Chomsky about his latest book, his “friendship” with Hugo Chavez, and the consequences of “Brand Obama”, among other things.
