THE SYSTEM Who Rigged It, How We Fix It

Robert Reich is an excellent narrator of his own work. He is passionate, expressive, and commands the listener's attention. The former Clinton Administration labor secretary argues that economic inequality is eroding democracy in the U.S. The richest of the rich--the oligarchs--ensure that ever larger shares of economic and educational advantage stick to their own fingers while the vast majority of Americans are left with less and less. Reich's poster child for what ails the system is Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase, a Democrat who tsks-tsks income inequality while pushing for corporate tax cuts, deregulation, and other goals of the one percent. This is an alarming audiobook read by someone who obviously cares about his subject. G.S. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2020]
