i've been reluctant to read up on chomsky's works due to his response about visiting epstein's child fuck island (tldr: he said it's none of your business).

it diminishes his legacy and makes me wonder if his work is truly inspired or just high quality rantings of a smart man.

That's definitely fucked up. That said, the book was a collaboration with another economist, Edward Herman. So it isnt entirely his work. It is still generally used as a text in economics and sociology programs across the world.

i'm aware of it and it's on my list; just lower in priority due to the epstein update.

Shit. That's very disappointing. This is my first time hearing about it. Guess I'm glad I listened to Understanding Power through alternative means
