This live presentation will trace the history of public interest movements in the 1960s and 70s, when Ralph Nader was a driving influence.  We will explore their tangled legacy, showing the ways in which American liberalism has been at war with itself.  We will also consider the challenges of regaining our faith in government’s ability to advance the common good.
