"Nader's assessment of how concentrated wealth and power undermine
democracy is clear and compelling, but it's his substantive vision
of how we ought to respond that makes Breaking Through Power
essential reading. Written just before Donald Trump's Electoral
College victory, Nader's latest book reads with even greater
urgency now."--Yes Magazine In Breaking Through Power, Ralph Nader
draws from a lifetime waging--and often winning--David vs. Goliath
battles against big corporations and the United States government.
In this succinct, Tom Paine-style wake-up call, the iconic consumer
advocate highlights the success stories of fellow Americans who
organize change and work together to derail the many ways in which
wealth manipulates politics, labor, media, the environment, and the
quality of national life today. Nader makes an inspired case about
how the nation can--and must--be democratically managed by
communities guided by the United States Constitution, not by the
dictates of big businesses and the wealthy few. This is classic
Ralph Nader, a crystallization of the core political beliefs and
commitments that have driven his lifetime of advocacy for greater
democracy. "Ralph Nader is the grand progressive of our time. We
overlook his words at our own peril! This book is required
reading."--Cornel West "Ralph Nader's Breaking Through Power is a
brilliant analysis of corporate power and the popular mechanisms
that can be used to wrest back our democracy. No one has been
fighting corporate domination longer, or understands it better,
than Nader, who will go down in history not only as a prophet but
an example of what it means to live the moral life. We disregard
his wisdom and his courage at our peril."--Chris Hedges,
Pulitzer-Prize winner and author of Wages of Rebellion: The Moral
Imperative of Revolt "Nader goes beyond delineating the problem and
provides a critical prescription to battle the toxicity of unjust
power--one that every individual can, and must, embrace."--Nomi
Prins, author, All the Presidents' Bankers "People are recognizing
that our founding, fundamental values of fairness, justice, and
opportunity for all--the very values that define our America--are
being shoved aside to create an un-America of plutocracy and
autocracy. Ralph Nader's new book Breaking Through Power provides
progressive boat-rockers with inspiration and a plan for reclaiming
America from the greedy Plutocrats and Fat Cats who think democracy
is for sale to the highest bidder."--Jim Hightower "I read Ralph
Nader for the same reasons that I read Tom Paine. He knows what he
thinks, says what he means, and his courage is a lesson for us
all."--Lewis Lapham "Nader insists on speaking up for the little
people and backs his arguments and decent sentiments with hard
facts."--Publishers Weekly About Ralph Nader: 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 more than four decades.
Nader's recent books include Animal Envy, Unstoppable, The Good
Fight, and the bestseller, Seventeen Traditions. Nader writes a
syndicated column, has his own radio show, and gives lectures and
interviews year round.
