Outrage is an interesting analysis, and I also recommend. It is quite infuriating that no serious policy person is even attempting to fix any of the inequities in our system--the things that caused the mess in the first place. But, the thing that irks me about Reich is that when he was in a policy position, he was part of the problem, the pro-bank Clinton machine that helped to repeal all the New Deal protections and realize the Reagan Utopia. When asked about this in an interview promoting Outrage he basically said, "My bad." Its easy to play armchair quarterback, but he fumbled when they gave him the ball. That said, he is still correct now, and should be taken way more seriously by policy makers. I suppose the problem (for us) is that for those in power there is no problem. The wealth of the already wealthy (who are the direct or de facto policy makers) has skyrocketed recently. Why fix a system that ain't broke?
