Description
Over the last forty years Ralph Nader has established himself as America's most active visionary. In this insightful new collection of his nationally syndicated column, Nader is at his best. Collecting more than one hundred articles spanning three decades, In Pursuit of Justice addresses corporate abuse, the latent dangers of nuclear energy, water and air pollution, consumer safety and more, all with Nader's inimitable sense of both his subjects' gravity and the people's entitlement to a fair lot.

Author Bio
Born in Connecticut in 1934, RALPH NADER has spent his lifetime challenging corporations and government agencies to be more accountable to the public. His 1965 book Unsafe at Any Speed permanently altered the course of a reckless U.S. automobile industry and made Nader a household name. His lobbying and writing on the food industry helped to ensure that the food we buy is required to pass strict guidelines before reaching the consumer. One of Naders greatest achievements was his successful lobbying for a 1974 amendment to the Freedom of Information Act, which gave increased public access to government documents. Over the years he has co-founded the public interest groups Public Citizen, Critical Mass, Commercial Alert, and the Center for the Study of Responsive Law. His 2000 presidential campaign on the Green Party ticket served to broaden the scope of debate on the nations priorities. Named by the Atlantic as one of the hundred most influential figures in American history, Nader continues to be a relentless advocate for grassroots activism and democratic change. He lives in Washington, D.C.
