«Le Profit avant l'homme» is the political-economic essay by Noam Chomsky and Jun Yamazaki, published by 10/18 in paperback (248 pages, in French).
Noam Chomsky denounces the neoliberalism imposed by the United States: behind the slogans of «less state» and «free markets», rich countries defend their interests and rig competition. Such policies, imposed without popular consultation, are undemocratic; only the mobilization of the citizen majority can stop them.
The essay was originally published as «Profit Over People: Neoliberalism & Global Order» (1998); the French translation is by Jacques Maas. Collection 10/18, series «Fait et cause», no. 3694.
It is aimed at readers interested in political criticism, economics and social philosophy.

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.
