Aftershock(inequality for All--Movie Tie-In Edition): The Next Economy and America's Future
(Depends on publisher)
Updated and With a New Introduction When the nation's economy foundered in 2008, blame was directed almost universally at Wall Street bankers. But Robert B. Reich, one of our most experienced and trusted voices on public policy, suggests another reason for the meltdown. Our real problem, he argues, lies in the increasing concentration of income at the top, robbing the vast middle class of the purchasing power it needs to keep the economy going.
