Synopsis "La Quinta Libertad (in Spanish)"

Este es, sin duda, el más radical y el más apasionante de los libros políticos de Chomsky. «Roosevelt ―nos dice― hablaba de las cuatro libertades, pero no de la quinta y más importante: la libertad de saquear y explotar». Como demuestra con gran claridad la historia del siglo XX, los Estados Unidos sólo se han preocupado por los derechos humanos y por las cuatro libertades fundamentales cuando han visto amenazada, para ellos, la quinta libertad. Como ha escrito Manuel Rivas, «este libro que estalla en las manos muestra la hipocresía de los poderosos que agreden sistemáticamente a las naciones débiles, mientras invocan fantasiosos peligros de agresión».

Noam Chomsky (born in 1928) is an American linguist, philosopher, and political activist, considered one of the most influential intellectual figures of the 20th century. He revolutionized linguistics with his theory of generative grammar, introduced in Syntactic Structures (1957), and further developed in Aspects of the Theory of Syntax (1965). His approach transformed the study of language, linking it to cognition and the human mind. In 2019, he was awarded the BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award in Humanities for his exceptional contributions to the study of human language.

In addition to his work in linguistics, Chomsky is known for his critique of the media and US foreign policy. Along with Edward S. Herman, he co-wrote Manufacturing Consent (1988), where they present the model of media propaganda. Other notable works include Hegemony or Survival (2003), which analyzes US foreign policy, and Reflections on Language (1975), where he defends a rationalist perspective on human nature. His output spans political essays, linguistics, and philosophy, consolidating his legacy as a critical and multidisciplinary thinker.
