For four decades Ralph Nader has been associated with the major political issues that define our our age - be it car safety, countering corporate power, increasing government accountability, or campaigning to keep the WTO in check. Truly a housesehold name in the US, and known and respected in the UK as well, Nader - as is shown in this collection of his writings - has probably contributed more to positive changes in society than pretty much any major politician. An inspirational collection of essays that both inspire and inform.
The Ralph Nader Readeris an extraordinary work that draws together Nader's best writings throughout his career. This single volume reveals the depth and range of his genius, and his passion for building an America true to the ideals of social justice, informed self-government, and equality of opportunity. Robert W. McChesney, author ofRich Media, Poor Democracy: Communication Politics in Dubious Timesand co-author ofIt's the Media, Stupid
Ralph Nader is our indispensable voice of outrage against corporate corruption, greed, invasion of privacy, and abuse of power. James K. Galbraith, author ofCreated Unequal: The Crisis of American Pay
