In these troubling times of intractable fiscal and social distress, Nader offers a new program to help rescue America: <em>The Seventeen Solutions</em>. His powerful, paradigm-shifting proposals address some of the most pressing concerns in our country today--from corporate crime to tax reform to health care and housing--and they should find a receptive audience not only among liberals, progressives, disillusioned Democrats, Rachel Maddow fans, and Occupy Wall Street supporters, but all concerned Americans.<br /><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>More than ever, America needs fresh ideas--and bold solutions. Now, Ralph Nader--perhaps our last great civic idealist--offers seventeen ideas to rescue our country from corruption, complacency, and corporate domination.</p><p>America is in crisis. After enduring two decade-long wars and a devastating financial meltdown, We the People have been abandoned by the leaders we elected to serve our interests. Now, in response to our desperate times, pioneering reformer Ralph Nader offers a new program of seventeen ambitious but common-sense solutions to our chronic economic and social problems. Among them: </p> <li>Reforming the tax system</li> <li>Making our communities more self-reliant</li> <li>Reclaiming science and technology for the people</li> <li>Protecting the family</li> <li>Getting corporations off welfare</li> <li>Creating national charters for corporations</li> <li>Reducing our bloated military budget</li> <li>Organizing congressional watchdog groups</li> <li>Enlisting the enlightened super-rich</li><p>Nader offers a stark assessment of our shared straits, but his solutions constitute an eye-opening plan to save America--before it's too late.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>It will be very good for the country if Nader's revelations shock a new generation. This book is a subversive primer that should be read in every high school civics class.--William Greider, The Nation<br>
