Check out this photo from CNN. If only Hugo Chavez had been holding a copy of Nietzsche on Morality or The Future for Philosophy! But I guess those books wouldn't have been as relevant to his topic (though Chapter 9 in the former, and Chapter 3 in the latter are actually not totally unrelated...).
(But which Chomsky book is he holding? Is that Hegemony or Survival? Comments are open for anyone who knows.)
UPDATE: About 4 pm EST in the US, Chomsky's book ranked around #540 for sales on Amazon; it is now (nearly 11 pm EST in the US) at #57.
