Neoliberal capitalism can be confronted. Interview with Noam Chomsky.

Abstract

Noam Chomsky (1928), Linguistics Lecturer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), is considered one of the greatest active intellectual. His creation of generative grammar puts him in a place of honour in Linguistics. Moreover, he has combined the linguistic developments with an intense social activism; he remains one of the greatest analysts of the politics worldwide. His researches on mass media and about the influence of the United States in the Latin America’s governments, especially in Central America are well-known. Along with the above mentioned, he is a reference in both, educational and philosophical fields.

Professor Chomsky has taken time in his busy schedule to do this interview with Iberoamérica Social. Here we talk briefly with him on issues such as the relationships among mass media and the educational system, the political relationship related to the tragedy of Ayotzinapa, among others.
