Only the Super-rich Can Save Us!
Author(s): Ralph Nader
What if a cadre of super-rich individuals, led by billionaire Warren Buffett, tried to become a driving force in America to address the interests of the citizens of this troubled nation? What if these 17 super-rich individuals decided to galvanise a movement for alternative forms of energy? Nader's extraordinary story returns readers to the literature of American social movements - to Edward Bellamy, to Upton Sinclair, to John Steinbeck, to Stephen Crane - reminding them in the process that changing the body politic of America starts with imagination.
