Former Secretary of Labor in the Clinton administration and current Berkeley professor Robert Reich makes a clear and convincing case for growing income inequality in the U.S. and calls for action to return to the greater equality and general prosperity that we had in the fifties. Rather than reiterate his arguments, I will just illustrate with some telling charts, which show how American wealth is distributed, and how we are experiencing a concentration of income at the top which has not been seen in this country since 1928.
Reich brings these facts to life with interviews and stories, and excerpts from his overflow lectures at Berkeley. It's a valuable lesson.
