![Noam Chomsky Trilogy
Bringing the 3rd World Home and Manufacturing Consent
Tape 1 of 2](images/fileicons/nodigital.png)
Noam Chomsky discusses the parties involved in determining the development, or lack thereof, of the 3rd world. He notes the contrast between the staunch protectionism that allowed for western development and the free market plan being forced on the 3rd world that intentionally stunts its development. Social and economic policies that are designed to oppress poor countries are used across 1st world countries as well, only on specific sects of the population, namely the workers. He discusses the idea that nations are not entities, as 3rd world characteristics can be observed in 1st world cities and nations (e.g. disparity between rich and poor), and 1st world wealth can be enjoyed by a small percentage of the 3rd world population. His discussion focuses on the policies that aim to bring 3rd world conditions to the US and the methods by which they are implemented.
