«La quinta libertad» is Noam Chomsky's essay on US foreign policy in Central America, published by Booket in paperback (416 pages, in Spanish).
Chomsky analyzes the so-called «quinta libertad» —the freedom to plunder and exploit— against the four classical freedoms enunciated by Roosevelt. Drawing on twentieth-century history, he argues that the United States has only invoked human rights and democracy when its own interests were threatened. The work denounces the hypocrisy of the great powers and shows how interventions in Central America have systematically aggressed weaker nations.
The book belongs to the Biblioteca de Bolsillo collection, number 1. It was originally published by Crítica and reissued by Booket in 1999. The work is written in Spanish.
Recommended for readers interested in international politics, critical analysis of power, and Noam Chomsky's essayistic work.
Avram Noam Chomsky is an American intellectual, philosopher, linguist, political activist, and social critic. Sometimes called "the father of modern linguistics", Chomsky is also a major figure in analytic philosophy and one of the founders of the field of cognitive science. He is a laureate professor of linguistics at the University of Arizona and an institute professor emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Among the most cited living authors, Chomsky has written more than 150 books on topics such as linguistics, war, and politics. In addition to his work in linguistics, since the 1960s, Chomsky has been an influential voice on the American Left as a consistent critic of the foreign policy of the United States, contemporary capitalism, and corporatocracy.
