Una advertencia sobre la amenaza que el poder de EE. UU representa para el futuro y los mitos nacionales que lo respaldan.

El mito del idealismo americano ofrece una introducción oportuna y exhaustiva a las incisivas críticas del poder estadounidense que han convertido a Noam Chomsky en un fenómeno global, uno de los intelectuales públicos más importantes de todos los tiempos. Examinando la historia de la actividad militar y económica de EE.UU. en todo el mundo, Chomsky y Nathan J. Robinson analizan vívidamente cómo la búsqueda estadounidense de la dominación global ha causado estragos país tras país, sin, irónicamente, hacer a sus ciudadanos más seguros. Además, exploran cómo las élites dominantes han promovido mitos interesados sobre el compromiso del país con la difusión de la democracia, mientras persiguen una política exterior imprudente que beneficia a unos pocos y pone en peligro a muchos. Examinando la proliferación nuclear y el cambio climático, muestran cómo las políticas estadounidenses siguen exacerbando las amenazas globales. A la vez exhaustivo y devastador, urgente y provocador, La farsa del idealismo americano brinda una entrada altamente legible a las conclusiones a las que ha llegado después de toda una vida de reflexión y activismo.
