Chomsky on Democracy

Chomsky warns austerity policy has left European democracy in tatters - World News | Latest International News Headlines | The Irish Times - Mon, Apr 01, 2013: "Speaking ahead of a public lecture in Dublin this week, Prof Chomsky (84), a leading figure in the study of linguistics and a prominent critic of US foreign policy, said the European Central Bank was imposing unfair and counterproductive austerity measures on the people of Ireland and other EU member states hit by the debt crisis.
“I’m not a great admirer of the [Federal Reserve], but I think they’ve been much more constructive and thoughtful and progressive than the ECB has been. I mean, take Ireland. It was a crisis of the banks. It wasn’t the Government; it wasn’t the population. It’s fundamentally bank corruption,” he said."
