Requiem for the American Dream is the riveting discussion-of-a-lifetime with Noam Chomsky, "the most important intellectual alive", on the financialization of America.

Through this candid and personal conversation, Chomsky offers an unvarnished look at the state of America today – a country of staggering inequality - and lays bare how society has been systematically restructured over the last four decades through exposing the orchestrated efforts of a financial aristocracy that have reshaped social and economic policy to serve its own interests.

The result has been the historically unprecedented consolidation of power and wealth – a corrosive trend that Chomsky has repeatedly cautioned against throughout his career – that now poses the greatest threat to democracy.

Requiem for the American Dream is the startling tale of what may prove to be the lasting legacy of our time – the death of the American middle class.
