About this title

Synopsis

A vivid fictional account by political activist and bestselling author Ralph Nader that answers the question, """"what if""""? What if a cadre of superrich individuals tried to organise and institutionalise the interest of the citizens of the world? What if some of America's most powerful individuals decided to return power to the people. And what if 17 superrich individuals decided to galvanise a movement for alternative forms of energy that will clean up the environment? A truly revolutionary and extraordinary story.

About the Author

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 Nader's 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 nation's 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.
