Only the Super-Rich Can Save Us! is a 2009 work of fiction by American political activist Ralph Nader, described by him as a practical utopia, in the style of Edward Bellamy's 1888 utopian novel Looking Backwards.[1]

Nader wrote the book to inspire imaginative solutions to the problem of corrupt politicians and financial institutions.[2][3]

Similarity to Atlas Shrugged

Just as Atlas Shrugged, by conservative author Ayn Rand, portrayed self-interested successful capitalists working to create a "Utopia of Greed" that is free from government, Only the Super-Rich Can Save Us! portrays an altruistic group of super-rich individuals working to "re-make government" and where "the rebellious rich take on the reigning rich."[4]

The novel's protagonist is inspired by Warren Buffett. On August 14, 2011, Warren Buffett wrote an influential op-ed entitled, "Stop Coddling the Super-rich",[5] which argues that the super-rich should bear more responsibility and pay their "fair share" of taxes.
