In this current age of conservative media and corporate influence, there are very few voices as important as Chomsky's. On his newest release, An American Addiction, he focuses mainly on the drug war, but takes a global approach, touching on globalization, local economics, and environmental factors contributing to the creation of the international narcotics market. This holistic view accurately portrays the problems inherent with the "War on Drugs"; that, just as with an individual addict has core reasons for being an addict, there is a root cause to the manufacture of drugs, an economic dependency on its production which must be taken into account.

Chomsky's view is historically and currently accurate, and he broaches subjects that most journalists, politicans, and theorists won't touch. On this record, as on his others, you will hear global arguments and fundamental reasons for international inequities, and it is important that we, as a nation as well as part of the world, begin to think in this global manner. This is a record that must be heard.
