Julian Assange has gone from heroic publisher to consumer rights advocate
In 1965, American consumer rights advocate Ralph Nader forever changed the car manufacturing industry when he published ‘Unsafe At Any Speed’. The book exposed how popular American cars were patently unsafe through the omission of important safety features as well the presence of unnecessary accoutrements.
The book is especially memorable for its attacks on the stylish Chevrolet Corvair.
For a seemingly egg-head minded subject, the book proved to be revolutionary in the changes it brought about in the car industry.
