SEPT 30: LIVE: RALPH NADER: His work; his influence; his races; his advocacy; his first work of fiction: Only the Superrich Can Save Us.
Ralph Nader was in Minneapolis September 30 to speak and talk about his new, first work of fiction that envisions seventeen of the nation's most prominent and wealthy, if aging, men (and one woman) colluding to return the United States to its original premises and its original promise – absent corporate personhood, and corruption of the fundamental concepts embodies in the Constitution and the social contract. The controversial founder of the US consumer movement and a force in establishing safety standards in the production and sale of everything from automobiles to appliances to toys also stepped into the political arena in 2000 as a candidate for president and the reverberations have never ceased - for good or ill.
RALPH NADER was our only studio guest this week. TTT's ANDY DRISCOLL and LYNNELL MICKELSEN query Mr. Nader about his life, his work, his politics-and, yes, his first work of fiction (using real people - like Warren Buffett, Phil Donahue, George Soros, Yoko Ono).
