Review:
Praise for Robert B. Reich's "Inequality for All
"
"Important and well executed. . . . Reich is fluent, fearless, even amusing."
--"The New York Times Book Review"
"Reich provides a thoughtful dialogue about the structural problems that led to the recent recession. . . . His ideas are worth exploring."
--"The Washington Post"
"[Reich] suggests a number of innovative ways to reverse the trend toward greater inequality and usher in another, more hopeful phase in American history."
--"The Charlotte Observer"
"One of the clearest explanations to date of . . . how the United States went from . . . 'the Great Prosperity' of 1947 to 1975 to the Great Recession."
--Bob Herbert, "The New York Times"
"All Americans will benefit from reading this insightful, timely book."
--Bill Bradley
"Lucid and cogent."
--"Kirkus Reviews"
" "
"Well argued and frighteningly plausible: without a return to the 'basic bargain' (that workers are also consumers), the 'aftershock' of the Great Recession includes a long-term high unemployment and a political backlash--a crisis, he notes with a sort of grim optimism, that just might be painful enough to encourage necessary structural reforms."
