A thought-provoking, principled, clear-eyed chronicle of the culture, politics, and economic choices that have landed us where we are today- with irresponsible economic bullies and corporations with immense wealth and lobbying power on top, demagogues on the rise, and increasing inequality fueling anger and hatred across the country. Nine months after World War II, Robert Reich was born into a united America with a bright future- which went unrealized for so many as big money took over our democracy.
