Recommendation

Consumer advocacy powerhouse and erstwhile presidential candidate Ralph Nader has a keen eye for detecting and dissecting political power. In this bold commentary, he advances an important idea: a bridge between liberal and conservative political ideologies against what he poses as their common enemy, the corporate state. This timely, provocative – yet optimistic – proposal merits serious consideration and wide discussion. Nader holds that nothing matters as much as a united stand against unchallenged corporate power. While always politically neutral, getAbstract recommends Nader’s editorial to concerned Americans who wonder how to make Congress effective once again and who believe in the American promise, perhaps now more of a dream than before, of economic equality. Conservatives and liberals alike will be quite intrigued – though probably not persuaded – by this original, far-reaching proposal.

Take-Aways

  • Liberals and conservatives should unite to fight against their common enemy: the corporate state.
  • False political issues divide and distract Americans; political corporatism is the main beneficiary of that divisiveness.
  • To enact important legislation in the past, conservatives and liberals in Congress have overcome obstacles that corporatists erected.
