The New "Super" Capitalism

Robert B. Reich in Conversation with R. Thomas Herman Robert B. Reich, the Secretary of Labor under President Clinton and a professor of public policy at the Goldman School of Public Policy at the University of California, Berkeley, discusses the clash between capitalism and democracy. In conversation with R. Thomas Herman, Reich describes how companies have become deeply involved in politics and his belief that consumers—invested in the stock market to an unprecedented degree—are increasingly loath to stand up for their values if it means biting the hand that feeds them. Reich’s new book is Super Capitalism: The Transformation of Business, Democracy and Everyday Life. Herman is a senior special writer for The Wall Street Journal. Date & Time: Tue, Oct 9,
