They didn’t like the regulation. His works range from the study of linguistics and the development of language to the causes of war and the condition of democracies around the world. Nothing surprising about this. Renowned academic and author Noam Chomsky elucidates 10 principles of concentration of wealth and power that have led to unprecedented inequality and the hollowing out of the American middle class. And they became more and more involved in decision-making, activism and so on. So, if someone in, say, Italy is criticizing Berlusconi or the corruption of the Italian state and so on, they’re not called anti-Italian. Requiem for the American Dream. You learn. There was first a huge increase in the flows of speculative capital, a shift from traditional banks to risky investments, complex financial instruments, money manipulations and so on. The people picked to fix the crisis were those who created it, the Robert Rubin crowd, the Goldman Sachs crowd.
And they began a coordinated effort to try to overcome it. It has this dual character which goes right back in economic history. But the major backlash, which was in parallel to this… was just redesigning the economy.Since the 1970s, there’s been a concerted effort on the part of the masters of mankind, the owners of the society, to shift the economy in two crucial respects. They said, “We’ve been selling candidates, marketing candidates like toothpaste ever since Reagan, and this is the greatest achievement we have.”That is a kind of measure of the extent to which, at least in popular consciousness, democracy is actually functioning. Public schools are also based on the principle of solidarity.Chomsky: If you look over the history of regulation, say, railroad regulation, financial regulation and so on, you find that quite commonly it’s either initiated by the economic concentrations that are being regulated, or it’s supported by them.

Literally, the top 1/10th of a percent are just super wealthy. It’s a barrier to corporate tyranny. The commercial and investment banks were separated, cut back their risky investment practices that could harm private people.

[Chomsky] Keep workers insecure, they’re going to be under control. By the 1920s, in a period not unlike today, it was virtually crushed. The Citizens United, this was January 2009, I guess, that’s a very important Supreme Court decision, but it has a history and you got to think about the history.It’s very interesting to read the rulings, like Justice Kennedy’s swing vote. He attributes this to the influence of the privileged and powerful who have never liked democracy. It just changed consciousness in a lot of ways.

And you spend your time and effort gaining those things, which you don’t need, and you don’t want, and maybe you’ll throw them away… but that’s the measure of a decent life.What we see is in, say, advertising on television, if you’ve ever taken an economics course, you know that markets are supposed to be based on “informed consumers making rational choices.” Well, if we had a system like that, a market system, then a television ad would consist of, say, General Motors putting up information, saying, “Here’s what we have for sale.” That’s not what an ad for a car is. Well, if you take a close look, usually you find they can’t justify themselves. Guns, tear gas, clubs and fists bring injuries to more than 80 persons and caused the death of two.By the mid ’30s, it began to reconstruct.
