5.0 out of 5 starsA Wonderful and Important Book
By Stephen E. on April 15, 2014
Format: Hardcover
Polling data shows that Americans are disgusted with their government. Some of us blame the Right. Others blame the Left. Obviously, as one of American History's great progressives, Nader is not neutral in the battle between Right and Left. Far from it. I am not neutral either. I am a conservative, but I cheer this new book by Ralph Nader! His still-supple mind and pure heart give him the ability to see what would be more obvious to the rest of us if it were not for the partisan hate machines and self interests that maintain our corrupted political system. Whether on the Left or Right, we know that our government has been captured by the self interested. Super-majorities of Americans - comprised of citizens on the Right and Left - want an end to the legalized bribery and extortion now a the heart of our political system, the restoration of citizen government, fair elections, fair trade, a reasonable and constitutional foreign policy, and a break-up of the big banks. If we would only compartmentalize the areas where our disagreements are intractable, we could then turn and work together to solve many of the nation's critical and massively debilitating problems. We would be, as the title of Nader's book suggests, "Unstoppable."

5.0 out of 5 starsThoughtful Insights on How We Are Governed by Corporations and What Can Be Done
By Pat Choate on May 25, 2014
Format: Hardcover
First, this is a very good book. It is also, I suspect, a disturbing book for those who label themselves as either a "Conservative" or as a "Liberal." As Ralph Nader effectively demonstrates, repeatedly, these epigrams are tools that others use to shape, if not control. the actions of large numbers of such self-identified people. And a major way these actions are shaped by such labels is to keep people from working together on policies and actions where there is agreement.

And the quickest way to ensure discipline and prevent joint action is to brand someone's actions as violating Liberal or Conservative principles.

As Nader documents with numerous examples, Corporations exert a powerful influence in shaping our national policies so that they and their owners are exempt from laws and regulations that hold them accountable. In recent years as these corporations have extended their influence into other nations, they have devised means and ways to use the U.S. Government to exert their influence into those other countries as well. The International Monetary Fund and the World Trade Organization are examples that immediately spring to mind.

Nader also subtly points out how defunct ideas and ideologies are parsed by Think Tanks and indentured intellectuals to protect Corporate interests and convey to voters a sense of powerlessness by the electorate. Nader provides examples of why that need not be so.

Ralph Nader has been a powerful influence in American public life for more than a half century. Whether you believe that his efforts are a force for a more democratic nation, or not, (I do), what is obvious is that he understands the reality of why and how the processes work, or increasingly do not work.

His insights are valuable.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsA Way Out!
By Robert Krebsbach on May 17, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
A short way into this book, it became clear: Corporatism is the enemy that lovers of democracy, freedom, and justice must unite against. The right/left, conservative/liberal labels are petty distractions that keep us from uniting to stop corporate tyranny. I thought I was progressive until reading this book, but I resonated so completely with the thoughts of the Greats of conservatism that Nader quotes, that I could just as easily regard myself as conservative. That's how little it matters in the face of corporate economic globalization.

4.0 out of 5 starsGreat Idea, Interesting Read, Slanted Left (but surprisingly open to the Right)
By RD on July 2, 2014
Format: Hardcover
When I heard about this book, I thought to myself that, finally, someone "gets it." That Left and Right at the "street level" (e.g., sensible liberals, genuine conservatives) are in mutual agreement on a multitude of issues. These are primarily "ends" such as: freedom from Big Brother; uncorrupted government; fair and reasonable taxation; safe water, air, products; protection from foreign invaders, tyrannical government; protection of life, liberty and property; sense of not just self but also family, community and nation. "Means" to achieve mutually-agreed goals are usually the sticking point, but can likely be worked out if left to sensible liberals and genuine conservatives (and such). This, in a nutshell, is "convergence." And, convergence is what the book is about.

After reading the book, it seems apparent that Mr. Nader truly believes in the convergence of Left and Right. He offers 25 bullet point ideas on where to start, then explains each one in detail. He also presents his opinion as to why so many opportunities for convergence, throughout history as well as the present day, fail to materialize. (Hint: lobbyists, corporations, money.) He blames the corporatists. From what I gather, corporatists are corporations, their allied unions, their allied government departments/agencies/bureaus, elitists, super-rich people (but only the ones who are not "enlightened." (Buffett, Soros, are ok, according to Mr. Nader.) This enemy is also referred to as the Corporatist State.

The book is written from the perspective of a frustrated liberal (which is neither good nor bad, and understandable). So often his style comes across as asking or trying to influence conservatives to join the liberal cause on issues of agreement.Read more ›

Excellent read. I'd say alot of this should be common sense, but that term doesn't really have any meaning anymore.
