Ralph Nader ran for President as a candidate for the Green Party in 2000 and vowed to serve the yearnings of all those who "see justice as the great work of human beings on Earth, who understand that community and individual fulfillment can be mutually reinforcing, who respect the urgent necessity to wage peace, to protect the environment, to end poverty, and to preserve values of the spirit for future generations."
For 45 years, Nader has challenged corporations, government, and other organizations to be more accountable to the public. This robust collection of 250 of his columns from the past ten years brings to the fore his character qualities of integrity, diligence, conscience, and perseverance. In the introduction, Jim Hightower salutes Nader for his "courage, ideas, hope, even some laughs — and the motivation to step up your own fight for justice."
The columns are divided into sections on Corporate Power; Media & Commercialism; Environment & Health; Civil Rights/Civil Liberties/Civil Justice; Government: Imagination & Stagnation; Global & Labor Concerns; Consumers & The Economy; Observations & Inspirations; Political Games & Shames; and Golden Oldies. All devotees of this remarkable American will want to have this volume!
