Description
Activist; Former Presidential Candidate; Author, Only the Super-Rich Can Save Us!
What if some of America's most powerful individuals decided it was time to fix our government and return the power to the people? Nader ponders what would happen if a cadre of "superrich" individuals focused on unionizing Wal-Mart, advancing clean elections and improving the environment with alternative forms of energy. Nader reminds us that imagination is at the heart of every social movement and change in American politics.
