In Pursuit of Justice: Collected Writings 2000-2003

Ralph Nader is one of Americas most controversialand uncompromising public figures. He is a man on a mission who believes that taking on the powers that be involves more than just talking about itit also means taking action. From car safety in the 1960s to opposition to the World Trade Organization in the 1990s, Naders work has increased government responsiveness to citizens, served as a check against the abuse of power by big business, and shaped the political consciousness of a nation. Naders sense of mission is infused in all of his work, especially his weekly columns. In Pursuit of Justice, a collection of Naders most recent, trenchant articles written in the years immediately following the publication of The Ralph Nader Reader, Nader addresses a broad array of issues, among them: corporate crime and power, government accountability, media control, consumer rights, healthcare, congressional reform, nuclear power and energy, racial discrimination, poverty, food and drug safety, air and water pollution, fair taxation, product liability protection, union democracy, living family wage, unfair lending practices, community radio, industrial hemp, banking, pension law, telecommunications and the importance of character. Nader has even sponsored consumer initiatives to reform university governance, educational testing, daily newspapers, women's health care, legal services, and professional sportsall of which are reflected in these sharp and sometimes humorous essays.
