Market Fundamentalism is the dogmatic belief that unregulated,
"laissez-faire" markets are the only answer to the world's biggest
social and economic problems.

It's time to confront the myths of Market Fundamentalism with compelling empirical reality that deconstructs and destroys the plutocratic hoax.

Join us for an enlightening forum hosted by Ralph Nader featuring top academics, economists, and experts who will present arguments to turn the tide in this "battle
of ideas.
