Saving Capitalism: For the Many, Not the Few

Leading political economist and former Secretary of Labor Robert B. Reich presents a myth-shattering breakdown of how America’s once thriving economic system is now failing us and what it will take to fix it.

The book opens with an overview of our modern economic times - from the vast economic growth in the thirty years following World War II to the past thirty years, where our economy has doubled while the average American’s earnings remained stagnant. The formerly prosperous middle class is shrinking, power and influence have created an oligarchy, and the country is facing its largest wealth disparity in eighty years. Separated into three parts, the book provides an overview of how America has gotten to where it is today, an analysis of the loss of bargaining power in the middle class, and a blueprint of Reich’s proposed solution.

Reich provides an eye-opening exposé on the falsehoods bolstered by the corruption of our democracy promoted by huge corporations and the revolving door between Washington and Wall Street. He asserts that we must choose between a market organized for broad-based prosperity and one designed to deliver ever more gains to the top. Ever the optimist, Reich foresees the end of inequality and diminished opportunity when we support the balancing power of everyone else.

Passionate and practical, Saving Capitalism illuminates the path toward restoring America’s fundamental promise of opportunity and advancement and an empowering call to civic action. Reich, author of Aftershock and The Work of Nations, provides thought-provoking insights, perfect for book clubs and political interest groups.
