From one of America's foremost economic and political thinkers
comes a vital analysis of our new hypercompetitive and
turbo-charged global economy and the effect it is having on
American democracy. With his customary wit and insight, Reich shows
how widening inequality of income and wealth, heightened job
insecurity, and corporate corruption are merely the logical results
of a system in which politicians are more beholden to the influence
of business lobbyists than to the voters who elected them.
Powerful and
thought-provoking, Supercapitalism argues that a clear
separation of politics and capitalism will foster an enviroment in
which both business and government thrive, by putting capitalism in
the service of democracy, and not the other way around.
