Book Overview
If any book can change a nation's thinking, it has to be this brilliant and perceptive work by one of the most tough-minded bearers of the torch of liberalism. For in The Resurgent Liberal Robert B. Reich, a professor at Harvard, Secretary of Labor, and the author of the best-selling The Work of Nations, not only champions a cause but looks fairly and unblinkingly at the conservative opposition. He carefully examines the four "parables" conservatives have exploited to monopolize American politics -- and what liberals must do to take it back.

Great intro to Robert Reich's thinking
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
I read this book as a high school senior, but even now, 10 years later, I haven't forgotten its basic message. There are haves and have-nots and it's important to think about how disparities in access to wealth, education, housing, and other goodies are created and perpetuated. It's also a call to arms to reduce these inequities. This book is a great foundation if you're interested in political economy. Reich's observations are interesting as well as entertaining to read. I also recommend some of his other works, albeit all are dated: Work of Nations, Locked in the Cabinet, and The Future of Success.
