Editorial Reviews: Review “Year 501 is another awesome achievement by Noam Chomsky. It is a devastating array of information about the U.S. role in the world, placed in the long historical perspective of the 500 years that followed the voyages of Columbus. The result is a wonderful single-volume education in history and world politics.”–Howard Zinn “This book portrays the world born five centuries ago: An immense supermarket where value is determined by price tags. What is the price of an intellectual? Chomsky’s fierce talent proves once more that human beings are not condemned to become commodities.”–Eduardo Galeano”Year 501 is another awesome achievement by Noam Chomsky.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐For anyone trying to understand US policy and its origins and history, this book is an essential tool. Although this edition only goes up to 1992, it contains predictions that have so far come to pass. I would like to see an edition updated to 2013. As usual, Chomsky’s analyses and syntheses are eye-opening and answer the many questions that lurk around the edges of the current and former foreign and domestic policy of our government.

⭐This is a powerful book indeed. The facts are there for those willing to check them out. For some people this maybe hard to acknowledge , but Chomsky is writing an account of History that everybody should take a time to read and investigate. In so doing , I am sure that you will have a new understanding of how things are , how the world really works and why.When you read all those books praising globalization , world free trade and neoliberal economics…take a time and verify…go to the real world…and see what is really happening to the majority of the people…Capitalism is a better system , I’m sure…but some adjustments need to be done to the way the big economies are trying to impose it to the little countries….It is creating more poverty and social unrest..and I am afraid that there will come a time when we are not going to be able to control this…

⭐My second Chomsky book after Manufacturing Consent. Personally I like this book much more. Less of a case study type read and right down to it. Great!

⭐still reading it. a perspective of truth denied us as all we knew and were taught in school was only about the ‘good west and europeans who discovered everything and all others were savages”. i think this world order is collapsing as there are new players vying for world power.

⭐Chomsky continues to deliver the unpleasant truth.

⭐This book is a summary of all the European conquest of the world in a book which holds less than 300 pages.

⭐More notes for a book than a book. Typical Chomsky: one-third genius, one-third commonplace, one-third way wide of the mark.

⭐He quotes Roosevelt as saying during WWII: “if Germany is winning, we’ll help the Russians, if the Russians are winning, we’ll help the Germans.” Moreover, he cited to studies showing that the productive power of countries with strong craft unions is greater than those counties (such as the U.S.) that do not. He also quoted Lawrence Summers as blaming poor countries for the environmental crisis by choosing to set oil prices low. A chapter on Cuba points out how, despite utter poverty throughout the 90’s, its people are still better off economically visavis other Latin American countries and more egalitarian. Finally, he Reminds us that Carter failed to fundamentally criticize Vietnam, saying there was “destruction on both sides” & that while a near-genocide was taking place in Indonesia, he increased the supply of weapons to its Govt, including jets.

⭐perfect !

⭐A masterly work Chomsky can always be relied on as an American dissident

⭐Excellent, thank you.
