David Obst - Saving Ourselves from Big Car

This book exposes how "Big Car"--the complex of companies in the automobile, oil, insurance, media, and concrete industries that promote and entrench car dependence--has pursued profit at the expense of the common good. David Obst explores how Big Car gained almost immeasurable influence over our lives, weighing the benefits and the costs of reliance on private automobiles. Provocative and comprehensive, Saving Ourselves from Big Car is a powerful wake-up call for us to change how we use cars before it's too late.
