This original work contains exclusive interviews with a range of noted scholars, including Noam Chomsky, Linda McQuaig, John McMurtry and Brian Martin. They speak candidly about understanding power, the global market and the various forces within it, and the costs of dissent. The book also features an exclusive interview with David Miller, who speaks openly about Iraq, U.S. and corporate world domination, the origins of the propaganda model in the United Kingdom, and the death of Dr. David Kelly, British weapons expert who leaked information to the media about what the British government knew about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

Each of essays in this collection considers the way in which power and ideology work within contemporary society. Apart from the feature interviews, essays include an examination of patriotic correctness (the new 'PC'), and the repression of dissent in America; post 9/11 media coverage and the 'War on Terror'; Jimmy Carter Goes to Cuba; the myth of the objective professional; the cost of dissent in universities; and an assessment of workplace injury and the ideology of the Worker's Compensation Board.

Contributors include: Noam Chomsky, David Miller, Linda McQuaig, John McMurtry, David Cromwell, Brian Martin, James Winter, Jean Chen, Teresa Chen, Valerie Scatamburlo-D'Annibale, Robert Jensen, Peter Eglin, Robert Bertuzzi, and Jeffery Klaehn.
