| The official Chomsky website is Chomsky.Info |
The Chomsky interview was prerecorded on 7.9.06 and
aired on 7.24.06. Dr. William Boyer appeared during the
second half-hour of the broadcast. The co-hosts
conducting the interview were Marian Peleski, Ellen
Lebowitz and Dana Garrett.
The Introduction to the Interview
Today we are interviewing Noam Chomsky, the Institute
Professor Emeritus of Linguistics at MIT. Professor
Chomsky is to modern linguistics what Freud is to modern
psychology and Einstein is to modern physics.
But Professor Chomsky is also known for his works on US
foreign and domestic policies and has over 50 books
publshed, the latest of which is Failed States: The Abuse of
Power and the Assault on Democracy.
According to the Arts and Humanities Citation Index,
between 1980 and 1992 Chomsky was cited as a source
more often than any other living scholar, and the eighth
most cited scholar overall.
Chomsky was voted the leading living public intellectual in
The 2005 Global Intellectuals Poll conducted by the British
magazine Prospect. When asked about receiving the
award, he stated "I don't pay a lot of attention to polls.”
When he was once asked on the discussion boards at Z-
Net how he felt about receiving so much public attention,
he responded that the only person he thinks deserves a
lot of attention is his new grand daughter.
It’s Chomsky the man—the good-hearted, sincere and
decent human being—that I have especially come to
appreciate and love. I’m so glad we can have you on the
show today, Professor Chomsky. Welcome.
Today we will be talking about corporations. Over half of
the fortune 500 companies are incorporated in Delaware
and the interests of corporations dominate much of
Delaware’s politics and culture as they do elsewhere in the
world.
