Illegitimate Authority: Facing the Challenges of Our Time (Paperback) By Noam Chomsky

Illegitimate Authority: Facing the Challenges of Our Time is a collection of incisive interviews with Noam Chomsky conducted by C. J. Polychroniou. The book addresses the pressing crises of our era—from threats to democracy in the United States, the social and institutional decay of the Biden era, to environmental emergencies and geopolitical tensions. Chomsky critiques the “illegitimate authority” of powerful institutions such as the Supreme Court, especially in acts like overturning Roe vs. Wade, unpacks the consequences of COVID-19, and analyzes the conflicts among global superpowers. Through thoughtful reflection and sharp analysis, it offers both warning and hope, urging collective action against injustice.
