I can't recommend this book enough. The documentary is streaming on Hulu I think. They both pretty much say the same thing word for word.

It goes into detail on the death of "the American dream" and the concentration of wealth and power to the 1%. Chomsky discusses the 10 ways he thinks they maintain and gain more power by manipulating the masses into allowing their own suppression. It will make you angry, but I found the information important.

Wellreadhead @mab-solenne I haven‘t had the opportunity to see him speak yet but would love to do so. 6y
