Requiem for the American Dream

Methodology and Conclusions

In «Requiem for the American Dream», Noam Chomsky employs historical and analytical approaches to explore economic and political inequality in the U.S. He draws on a wide range of data, including statistics, historical documents, research, and personal observations. Chomsky analyzes how elites concentrate wealth and power, undermining democratic institutions and principles. The main conclusions of the book are that the American Dream has become unattainable for most citizens due to the systematic redistribution of wealth in favor of the rich, leading to weakened democracy and increased social inequality.
