Professor Noam Chomsky

In this lecture, Professor Chomsky will discuss recent political movements as well as electoral outcomes such as the US presidential elections and Brexit and similar developments across Europe. He will contextualize them in relation to human behavior and what seems to him to be their broader - in fact, far broader - significance.
