We can thank
Ralph Nader for nearly every environmental or consumer regulation from the
1960’s to the present. Named by The Atlantic as one of the hundred most
influential figures in American history, and by Time and Life magazines
as one of the most influential Americans of the twentieth century, Ralph Nader
has helped us drive safer cars, eat healthier food, breathe better air, drink
cleaner water, and work in safer environments for nearly five decades.
Now 80, Ralph Nader has written a new book with the
triumphant title “Unstoppable, The Emerging
Left Right Alliance to Dismantle the Corporate State.” The timing couldn’t be better: we are at a critically pivotal moment in
our history. Americans are more disillusioned with their political leaders and major
parties than ever before. Collective mistrust of the big corporations is rampant
across the country. Ralph Nader provides a blueprint for citizens to fight
successfully against the corporate state and its crony capitalism. He contends
that a strong and bold Left-Right alliance is exactly what is needed to provide
us with safe food and clean water, much cleaner air, control of our tax monies
and investor rights, fair wages, increased funding of public schools and public
spaces, ceasing being a military empire, and more.
“Ralph Nader’s timely book once again makes him prescient in
his insights about American politics. His against-the-grain prediction…is not
just a hope, but is grounded in emerging evidence.” — Cornel West
Ralph Nader is an author, lecturer, attorney and political
activist.
