Book Reviews of In Pursuit of Justice: Collected Writings 2000-2003
Book Review: eye-opening
Summary: 5 Stars
My review does not cover what the book is about. Please read the other book reviews for that. This review concerns my reaction to this book. I was unpleasantly surprised to discover how much worse corporate corruption and injustice is in this world. At the same time, this book made me realize that the great tribulation may start within five years after all! I may not be too old to see Armageddon start. Praise God!
I encourage everyone to read this book, especially those Christians who live at Bethel.
P.S. This book reminded me of how corrupt and devious the Microsoft Corporation was, and still is.
P.P.S. Corporations in this country have the same legal rights as human beings. There are pros and cons to this situation. It is now possible to sue a corporation for environmental rape, emotional rape, and so forth.
P.P.P.S. Of course, there are a few exceptions to the rule, like Ben & Jerry's.
P.P.P.P.S. Nader criticizes both the Democrats and the Republicans. I had thought former Republican President George Bush Jr. was a bad president, but I didn't realize how corrupt he was until I started reading this book. There is very little difference between the Democrats and the Republicans. It is like comparing apples to oranges. I have eaten a few sweet juicy apples that I liked, but I absolutely love consuming sweet ripe juicy oranges. I have no idea what kind of fruit Nader's party is. They have not had a president in office yet.
Summary of In Pursuit of Justice: Collected Writings 2000-2003
Ralph Nader is one of America?s most controversial?and 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 it?it also means taking action. From car safety in the 1960s to opposition to the World Trade Organization in the 1990s, Nader?s 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. Nader?s sense of mission is infused in all of his work, especially his weekly columns. In Pursuit of Justice, a collection of Nader?s 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 sports?all of which are reflected in these sharp and sometimes humorous essays.As informative as it is pleasurable to read, section after section of In Pursuit of Justice slices through government and corporate propaganda and reveals the corruption, bias and injustice that all too often connect politics with big business, thereby impeding the pursuit of justice. Collecting more than one hundred of his most recent writings, In Pursuit of Justice conveys Nader's inimitable sense of both the global political economy and our nation's democratic promise.
