This article focuses on the political developments in the United States. Candidate for the post of Mayor, Mark Green has displayed a steadfast commitment to political activism and consumer advocacy since the 1970's, when he was one of the most effective of consumer advocate Ralph Nader's Raiders. This background reflects a principled skepticism about corporate power that is rare among politicians and that animated his creative activism as New York's Commissioner of Consumer Affairs and more recently as Public Advocate. Electing him mayor would give New Yorkers an ombudsman at the top.
