Robert Reich - Aftershock: the Next Economy and America's Future October 1, 2010

Robert Reich presents a new reading of the economic crisis-and a plan for dealing with its aftermath. Reich is one of our most trenchant and informed experts. When the nation's economy foundered in 2008 and blame was directed at Wall Street, Reich suggested a different reason for the meltdown. He argues that the real problem is structural: it lies in the increasing concentration of income and wealth at the top. He sees a perilous road ahead, as we deal with a middle class that has had to go deeply into debt to stay afloat.
