Propaganda
and Control of the Public Mind
by Noam Chomsky
Description
Politics. Social Criticism. "There's no doubt
that one of the major issues of twentieth century history, surely in the
US, is corporate propaganda. . . Its goal from the beginning, perfectly
openly and consciously, was to 'control the public mind,' as they put it.
The reason was that the public mind was seen as the greatest threat to
corporations" - Noam Chomsky, from the CD. This is the latest in the audio
series bringing Chomsky's finest lectures to compact disc. This lecture,
and the question-and-answer session that follows, provide and introduction
to (and synthesis of) Chomsky's key thinking on the media and propaganda,
and their pivotal role in the relentless class struggle being waged daily.

The best Chomsky Lecture I've heard so
far.
Speaking a length to a sympathetic audience
at Harvard, the real Noam lets his hair down and gives qualifications and
background for many of his statements that we are used to hearing. Lot's
of references as well. It's a relaxed conversational tone; if your car
has a CD player this will put you in a great mood on your way to work.
