In 1967, Noam Chomsky published a text titled “The Responsibility of Intellectuals” in which he criticized the Vietnam War, the US intellectual culture, the way many scientists and members of the academic community work in the interests of the centers of power, the view that it is the duty of every educated man to use his intellectual abilities to critically examine the society in which he lives. Chomsky, one of the most influential and best-educated intellectuals of the 20th century, a linguist, historian, social theorist, activist, in the documentary film “Requiem for the American Dream” in an accessible and direct way speaks of the concentration of wealth and power in the modern world, of increasing social inequality and the collapse of American democracy, summarizing some of the most important conclusions it has reached during its career.
