Summary: In a new interview, the eminent Progressive scholar and activist explores current political and economic conditions. And he explores what the American people should do next--with Trump out and Biden in--to begin restoring democracy and improving the lot of "the 99%."

Here Chomsky blends an encyclopedic knowledge of politics and economics, . . . an inclination to take "the long view" of current affairs, . . . and a surprisingly optimistic view of the future.

Credits: Chomsky spoke on January 12, 2021, I have lightly edited the talk for radio. The unedited presentation, a remote interview, is available on the Jacobin channel on YouTube.
