Books like Profit over People by Noam Chomsky


In "Profit Over People," Noam Chomsky analyzes how neoliberal policies—endorsed by institutions such as the World Trade Organization, International Monetary Fund, and the North American Free Trade Agreement—have shifted power from democratic publics to a few corporations. He contrasts the rhetoric of democracy and free enterprise with the reality of corporate control over policy, public opinion, and the environmental and social consequences of unchecked market incentives. Chomsky documents historical examples, critiques the influence of nondemocratic forces, and highlights resistance movements that challenge these structures. He concludes that social activism can restore citizens’ rights and redefine democracy as a collective global movement rather than a profit-driven market.
