Aftershock(Inequality for All--Movie Tie-in Edition) (Vintage)
Praise for Robert B. Reich'sInequality 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.”—Publishers Weekly
