	'''''Understanding Power''''' is a ~~2002~~ collection of discussions with [[Noam Chomsky]].		'''''Understanding Power''''' is a collection of transcripts of teach-ins, discussions, and public question-and-answer sessions with professor [[Noam Chomsky]]. Most of these talks were recorded between 1989 and 1999.

			The collection was compiled, edited, and fact-checked by Peter R. Mitchell & John Schoeffel, who are public defenders in the city of New York. They give an overview of the process in the book's preface:

			<blockquote>We transcribed tapes of dozens of question-and-answer sessions, edited them for readability, then reorganized and combined them to eliminate repetition and present the analysis in a coherent progression of topics and ideas. Our aim was to compile an overview of Chomsky’s political thought that combines the rigor and documentation of his scholarly books with the accessibility of the interview format. Always we remained faithful to Chomsky’s own language and answers—and he reviewed the text.</blockquote>

			The book was first published in 2002—in the US by The New Press, and in Australia and New Zealand by Scribe Publications.

	* ~~…jingoism~~, racism, fear, religious fundamentalism: these are the ways of appealing to people if you’re trying to organize a mass base of support for policies that are really intended to crush them.		* You can't just come before the electorate and say, "Vote for me, I'm trying to screw you." So what they've had to do is appeal to the population on some other grounds. Well, there aren't a lot of other grounds, and everybody always picks the same ones, whether his name is Hitler or anything else—jingoism, racism, fear, religious fundamentalism: these are the ways of appealing to people if you’re trying to organize a mass base of support for policies that are really intended to crush them.

	* Well, [[w:Law\|law]] is a bit like a [[w:Printing press\|printing press]]—it’s kind of neutral, you can make it do anything. I mean, what lawyers are taught in law school is chicanery: how to convert words on paper into instruments of power. And depending where the power is, the law will mean different things.		* Well, [[w:Law\|law]] is a bit like a [[w:Printing press\|printing press]]—it’s kind of neutral, you can make it do anything.
