Economic inequality threatens not only the U.S. economy, but also democracy itself, warns former Labor Secretary Robert Reich.
Excerpts from Reich’s popular classroom lectures—amplified by news clips, interviews, archival footage, and excellent graphics—weave a cohesive narrative in which peaks in inequality cause disastrous financial crashes. Profiles of struggling middle-class families lend emotional heft to the argument that market deregulation, anti-union legislation, and low marginal tax rates led to massive consolidation of wealth that threatens the viability of the American workforce. An extensive online discussion guide is available. Directed by Jacob Kornbluth.
