Aftershock the next economy and America's future

A brilliant new reading of the economic crisis--and a plan for dealing with the challenge of its aftermath--by one of our most trenchant and informed experts.When the nation's economy foundered in 2008, blame was directed almost universally at Wall Street. But Robert B. Reich suggests a different reason for the meltdown, and for a perilous road ahead. He argues that the real problem is structural: it lies in the increasing concentration of income and wealth at the top, and in a middle class that has had to go deeply into debt to maintain a decent standard of living.Persuasively and straightforwardly, Reich reveals how precarious our situation still is. The last time in American history when wealth was so highly concentrated at the top--indeed, when the top 1 percent of the population was paid 23 percent of the nation's income--was in 1928, just before the Great Depression. Such a disparity leads to ever greater booms followed by ever deeper busts....

  • "When the nation's economy foundered in 2008, blame was almost universally directed at Wall Street. But celebrated economic policy maker and political theorist Robert B. Reich suggests a different reason for the meltdown: the increasing concentration of income at the top, and a middle class deep in debt to maintain a decent standard of living. In Aftershock, Reich offers a practical, humane, and much-needed blueprint for lastingly improving America's economy. (Bestseller)."

Reich argues that the nation's 2008 economic collapse is the result of an increasing concentration of income and wealth at the top - and a middle class that had to go deeply into debt to maintain a decent standard of living. To ensure that prosperity is widely shared, he continues, requires the implementation of a much broader safety net for the middle class financed by higher marginal tax rates on the very wealthy."
