Noam Chomsky: Exceptionalism Is a Concept Held by Every Great Power and It’s Always Wrong

In a conversation with theoretical physicist and cosmologist Lawrence
Krauss, Noam Chomsky explains why American exceptionalism is neither

States interventionist attitudes abroad are altruistic, the country’s
foreign policy only benefits the most powerful Americans, among other
important topics.
