Ralph Nader hosts “Billionaires Without Bull” at the NYPL
May 6, 2011
A lot of people calm down as they get older, they get tired and the things they cared passionately about in their youth just seem too unattainable. Ralph Nader, 77, has not reached that point yet.

Ralph Nader talks with the Real News Network about Only The Super-Rich
July 16, 2010
NADER: Now, super-rich people give a lot to charity. This isn’t charity. This is justice. This is shift the power. This is going after the causes of hunger, not soup kitchens. And that’s going to take a while, that kind of move, because, you know, years ago the rich just gave to their churches, and then they started giving to their own foundations—Ford, Rockefeller, Carnegie. Now we have to move them into the justice arena.
JAY: But some people have suggested that this is a bit of you getting pessimistic or giving up on a people’s movement.
NADER: Well, partly it’s a recognition that justice needs money. — from the Real News Network interview with Ralph Nader on “Only the Super-Rich Can Save Us!”

May 26, 2009
John R. Talbott is no longer the only oracle in the Seven Stories authorial stable. Ralph Nader, author of the upcoming fictional utopia, “Only the Superrich Can Save Us”, successfully predicted the secret meeting of the superrich that took place at Rockefeller University in New York City on May 5th—which eerily resembles the plot of Nader’s first work of fiction.
