Robert Reich dissects the big economic challenges Washington policy makers are facing: hastening the recovery, creating jobs, managing the Baby Boomers’ pending retirements (Social Security and Medicare), and coping with the federal deficit. He also explains the key international challenges: improving America’s competitiveness, dealing with Europe’s debt crisis and dealing with an increasingly powerful China. With wide-sweeping knowledge and brilliant wit, Reich explains what’s really at stake, which policy choices are likely to be the most (or least) successful and how the complicated political landscape—with a Republican Congress and a President looking for a legislative legacy—will impact Washington’s ability to get things done.
In this speech, based on his award-winning documentary Inequality for All, Robert Reich explores what can be done to reverse the trend toward widening inequality in ways that improve the well-being of everyone, including the best-off members of society. He looks at the evidence in the United States and similar trends around the world; explains why it's happening; and examines the consequences for the economy and for democracy of the various choices we have for dealing with it.
