Description
Updated for paperback publication, Aftershock is a brilliant reading of the causes of our current economic crisis, with a plan for dealing with its challenging aftermath.When the nationโs economy foundered in 2008, blame was directed almost universally at Wall Street bankers. But Robert B. Reich, one of our most experienced and trusted voices on public policy, suggests another reason for the meltdown. Our real problem, he argues, lies in the increasing concentration of wealth in the hands of the richest Americans, while stagnant wages and rising costs have forced the middle class to go deep into debt. Reichโs thoughtful and detailed account of where we are headed over the next decadesโand how we can fix our economic systemโis a practical, humane, and much-needed blueprint for restoring Americaโs economy and rebuilding our society.
