Capitalism, Media Control, and The Illusion Of Democracy - Professor Noam Chomsky

Capitalism, Media Control, and The Illusion Of Democracy - Professor Noam Chomsky

March 4, 2024

Philosopheasy

Controversial linguist and philosopher Professor Noam Chomsky challenges our core beliefs about freedom, democracy, and capitalism.

He argues that corporations and media manipulate us, wars are waged for profit, and the economic system is rigged for the wealthy.

His 'Manufacturing Consent' theory reveals how news shapes public opinion to uphold the status quo. Are we truly free if our choices are controlled by those with power?

This episode explores Chomsky's radical critique of modern society.
