About this listen

Over the course of seven decades Ralph Nader has been Corporate America's fiercest critic. Supreme Court Justice William Powell singled out Nader in his infamous memo as the "single most effective antagonist of American business . . . [the] target of his hatred . . . is corporate power."

But now, in a book that will surprise both his fans and critics, Nader profiles a small group of CEOs who he believes performed extraordinarily well as business leaders and civic reformers, some well-known, some not, who should be celebrated as exceptions whose life and career should be a course of emulation and inspiration for students of business, executives, and the wider citizenry.

This select group of mavericks and iconoclasts—which includes The Body Shop's Anita Roddick, Patagonia's Yvon Chouinard, Vanguard's John Bogle, and Busboys and Poets' Andy Shallal—give us, Nader writes, "a sense of what might have been and what still could be if business were rigorously framed as a process that was not only about making money and selling things but improving our social and natural world."

Ralph Nader showcases 12 exemplary CEOs who went above and beyond to ensure that their companies gave more to the environment than they took, treated their customers and workers as human beings; often promoting worker unions themselves, participated in dialogue & dissent to do the right thing even at the risk of jeopardizing their bottom-line, promoted competition in their business domain and of course performed their fiduciary duty by running a profitable company without enriching themselves with insane wealth.

In the age of corporations having more rights than human beings and their toxic CEOs/executives amassing ever more wealth at the expense of our planet, well being of our children and eroding democracies for their gain; These 12 CEOs show that its possible to run a successful profitable business and still be a decent individual creating positive impact on the society.
