Robert Reich on Democracy's Bullies

Season 2 Episode 224

Former Labor Secretary and longtime professor Robert Reich joins Laura Flanders to discuss two bullies against U.S. democracy: concentrated wealth and corporate power. As Reich shares, growing income inequality yields corruption in our politics and economy. No one election will change everything, but that’s not a reason not to act to defeat the Trump administration — in Congress, and at the polls.
