    • Chomského kniha zásadných rozhovorov prináša čitateľovi najnovšie veľmi provokatívne, ale aj imaginatívne názory na najaktuálnejšie politické problémy doby. A tak, čitateľ môže sledovať vodopád jeho logicky vystavaných argumentov, postrehov, názorov a myšlienok. S Chomským možno nesúhlasiť, polemizovať, prieť sa, ale ignorovať jeho briskný intelekt, nepočúvať ho, neprieť sa s ním, znamená rezignáciu na kritické myslenie, zakrpatenie intelektuálneho diskurzu a nakoniec duchovnú stagnáciu. Je veľký predpoklad, že táto kniha by mohla oživiť jednostranný a upadajúci spoločenskovedný diskurz na Slovensku. O jeho pozitívnom dopade na kvalitu verejných rozpráv niet pochýb.

    • rozhovory o americkej moci v meniacom sa svete Titul Čo povieme, to platí je jedným zo série rozhovorov, v ktorých sa Noam Chomsky vyjadruje k aktuálnym politickým otázkam súvisiacim so zahraničnou politikou Spojených štátov amerických. Chomského za jeho odvahu a otvorenosť hovoriť o niektorých témach označujú aj ako „najužitočnejšieho občana Ameriky“. Iní sa o ňom vyjadrujú ako o „svetovom fenoméne“. V každom prípade, Chomsky patrí k najčítanejším autorom vo svojej oblasti. Aj predkladaný titul je vyváženým posúdením správania sa štátu, ktorý si naďalej myslí, že jeho poslaním je ovládať celý svet. V Chomskeho slovách objavíte muža, ktorý pociťuje hlboké sklamanie z toho, čo sa deje, a ktorý je frustrovaný z premrhaného potenciálu svojej krajiny. Napriek tomu môžeme objaviť v jeho úvahách nádej, ako aj konkrétne návrhy na riešenie niektorých problematických otázok. Či už bude čitateľ s Chomskym súhlasiť alebo nie, diela tohto významného mysliteľa našich čias sú minimálne akýmsi bezkonkurenčným podnetom na zamyslenie. Prvé vydanie
