Following last week’s [event](https://www.cato.org/events/unstoppable-emerging-left-right-alliance-dismantle-corporate-state) for Ralph Nader’s *[Unstoppable](http://www.amazon.com/Unstoppable-Emerging-Left-Right-Dismantle-Corporate/dp/1568584547/?tag=catoinstitute-20)*, I [sat down with him](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_Ut8EuAUyE) to discuss some of the ideas he expressed about how best to gather a large coalition to end corporate welfare, crony capitalism, and corporatism. We may agree more than this discussion indicates, but we disagree quite a bit, as you’ll see. You be the judge.
