Requiem for the American Dream: The 10 Principles of Concentration of Wealth & Power is a book by political activist and linguist Noam Chomsky. It was created and edited by Peter Hutchison, Kelly Nyks, and Jared P. Scott. Based on over four years' worth of interviews between Chomsky and the editors (of the film by the same name), this is the first book under his name to be devoted to a single topic: income inequality. It lays out Chomsky's views and analysis of neoliberalism, and focuses on the rapid concentration of wealth and power in the United States beginning in the mid-to-late 20th century. The book was published by Seven Stories Press in 2017.
