Jumia Books How the World Works Author: Noam Chomsky

How the World Works by Noam Chomsky is a powerful compilation of four bestselling works that unravel the mechanisms of global power, media manipulation, and economic control. Through a series of interviews conducted by David Barsamian and edited by Arthur Naiman, Chomsky offers a lucid, unflinching critique of the institutions and ideologies that shape our world.

This volume brings together Chomsky’s most influential insights on U.S. foreign policy, corporate influence, propaganda, and the erosion of democratic values. With clarity and conviction, he challenges mainstream narratives and exposes the hidden agendas behind political decisions and media framing.

Ideal for readers seeking to understand the deeper forces at play in international affairs, How the World Works is both a primer on critical thinking and a call to civic engagement. Chomsky’s voice remains one of the most important in contemporary political discourse, offering tools to question, resist, and reimagine the status quo.
