About this listen

In Saving Capitalism, Robert Reich reveals the entrenched cycles of power and influence that have damaged American capitalism, perpetuating a new oligarchy in which the 1 percent get ever richer and the rest - middle and working class alike - lose ever more economic agency, making for the greatest income inequality and wealth disparity since World War II. In brilliantly provocative detail, he shows how our misguided veneration of the "free market" has led us here and offers an empowering call to civic action as well as specific ideas for reform. A former White House advisor, talk show fixture, lecturer, and essayist and the star of last year's acclaimed documentary Inequality for All, Robert Reich is a beloved ambassador of progressive economics and a voice of reason in a media climate of fear mongering and finger pointing.

Puts it All Together

Reich does what so many others fail to do. He concisely and completely outlines the problems then proposes doable solutions. Others either have no solution or propose ideas which would just never get off the ground in America.

Cherry-Picker

Robert Reich, cherry-picks statistics and examples to support his theories regarding an improved economic system with very little acknowledgment or depth around the complexity of the forces involved. The grievance outlined are real but many of the solutions and outcomes presented are not.
