"Michael Pertschuk and the Federal Trade Commission, 1977-1984"

Library of Congress Kluge Fellow Eleanor Capper will discuss the American consumer movement and government activism in the 1970s and 1980s and describe how one crusader tried to make the Federal Trade Commission more responsive to consumer interests. Michael Pertschuk, a longstanding and well-respected Washington, D.C., consumer activist and chairman of the Commission during the Carter administration, has papers at the Library of Congress that are largely unexplored. Be among the first to find out what he had to say.
