The Precipice
R**A
Is it about ne-liberalism?
I expected much from this book and went into it with much enthusiasm. However, rather than exploring Noam Chomsky's views on neo-liberalism, the interviewer explored his views on Donald Trump. This is what I read from the book.The book, to me, read like one long diatribe against Donald Trump. This was entertaining for the first 15% of the book, then it became repetitive.Not one of his best publications.

Insightful and Terrifying
Chomsky once again delivers a scathing commentary, and analysis of our modern day Capitalist-run world. This book highlights specifically the Trump era and it’s massive faults; this should be mandatory reading for the average American. It is a huge wake up call.

The Precipice, a book for everyone who considers democracy important.
"The Precipice", is a series of interviews of Noam Chomsky by C.J. Polychroniou, covering the Trump years.Whilst I personally subscribe to most of the political principles of Noam Chomsky, I do believe that this book should also be compulsory reading for everyone with different views, but who also regards democracy as important. The factual information in this book points indeed to the immediate dangers that neo-liberalism, racism, pandemics and ultra-right populist movements bring to our world.Chomsky’s analyses are, as always thorough and to the point. However, despite all the negatives, he is hopeful for the future as there is a [fast] growing movement, of mostly younger people, acting, demonstrating against neo-liberalism, racism and fighting for justice and democratic principles.This book should be read by everyone, interested in understanding the imminent dangers our world faces.

excellent interviews???? micro font
There is another person who has commented on this issueThis book (the Penguin version, printed in Australia) has a micro font.What is the point of buying a book that produces eyestrain?This is neoliberalism in action. The whole point of a book is to read it. The point of a book to a neoliberal publishing house is to sell it as cheaply as possible, despite the health consequences....Can those who wrote this book, also complain to the publisher.The couple of interviews I read before my eyes gave out seemed as good as ever....
