Intro, Talk, Edited Questions


Recorded before a LIVE AUDIENCE at the Noah Webster Library on Nov. 27, 2009.


Book Summary: This vivid fictional account by three-time presidential candidate and best-selling author Ralph Nader asks: What if several of America’s wealthiest individuals decided it was time to work for the collective good? The story that unfolds returns us to the literature of American social movements—to Edward Bellamy, Upton Sinclair, John Steinbeck, and Stephen Crane. And “Only the Super-Rich Can Save Us!” is something else too, a reminder that real changes in America always start with the imagination.
