Will save the world? It already happened — where were you? Chomsky and others (like Hayek, Friedman) provided theoretic framework in different fields against Communism/authoritarianism, and politicians (like Reagan, Thatcher, etc.) took the theories and acted on them. The Soviet Union is gone now and communism is on the wane.fluffyhamster wrote:So, Chomsky not only saved linguistics, but will also prove to be saviour of the world etc etc.
