The Social and Political Thought of Noam Chomsky questions Chomskys claim not to have a theory about the relationship between human beings and their society other than that which can be written on the back of postage stamp. Edgley compares Chomskys vision of the good society with liberal communitarian perspectives, and establishes that it is grounded in a hopeful belief about human nature. She argues that sympathy with this vision of the good society is essential for understanding the nature of Chomskys critique of state capitalism, its inherent nationalism and the media. The author concludes that Chomskys analysis is coherent and systematic when one acknowledges that he is not just a critic but a theorist.
