For example, it was decades ago when he pointed out that \"in 1970, about 90% of international capital was used for trade and long-term investment--more or less productive things--and 10% for speculation. By 1990, those figures had reversed.\" As we know, high-risk speculation continues to increase exponentially as corporations continue to push the free market economy--but only for the power they offer to the wealthy, not to benefit all people. We're paying the price now for not heeding him them.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNoam Chomsky\u003c\/b\u003e is the most famous social critic in the world.
