Ralph Nader: "Why Aren't Corporate Crimes Prosecuted?"

On April 20, 2010, author and political gadfly Ralph Nader gave a lecture at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), in Baltimore, MD. He spoke before a near capacity audience for over an hour. Mr. Nader said corporate crimes, as opposed to "street crimes," go mostly under-reported by the establishment media in the U.S. and are "rarely prosecuted." He detailed how corporate "misbehavior, negligence and crimes" cost thousands of deaths every year in the country from "preventable" work-related diseases and injuries, [the Massey Mine Explosion]; air pollution; negligence in hospitals; and from medical malpractice cases. He also spotlighted how Wall Street insiders, using various schemes, looted "trillions of dollars" from workers pension funds. Mr. Nader added: "Forty-five thousand people die every year because they don't have any health insurance." Professor Fimin DeBrabander of MICA introduced Mr. Nader.

the word'violence' is not quite right here. A more important analysis would be that of how many lives in foreign lands have been taken (murder) in the name of terror and '9/11'.... Nader is talking about the neglect and misdirection which supports overseas violence and private 'security' incomes...

What a voice of Reason. Too bad more arent listening...everybody is either anti Obama hysterics or in denial about his shortcomings.

Socrates was a gadfly. Both Socrates and Nader deserve a better description.

John Braithwaite - Corporate Crime in the Pharmaceutical Industry

scribd(.)com/doc/14171452/

"The pharmaceutical industry has a worse record of law-breaking than any other industry. John Braithwaite examines the extent of corruption, and shows how it is not an isolated problem, but one engrained in the very structure of the industry."

As usual, Nader tells it the way it is. Thanks for the upload ;-)
