Former US Secretary of Labor Robert Reich / Capitalism and Democracy

Robert Reich, U.S. Secretary of Labor (1993-97) and Chancellor's Professor of Public Policy at the University of California, Berkeley
Neither economists nor political scientists are terribly comfortable talking about power, but it can no longer be avoided. Widening inequality, the accumulation of record wealth at the top, and the tsunami of money into politics all make it necessary to discuss how the inequities of modern capitalism are compounding themselves -- as economic power translates into political power to alter the market in ways that advantage those at the top, which adds to their economic and political power. What's the endgame? 
After his lecture, Reich will be in conversation with Rob Reich (Political Science, Stanford University).
Robert Reich's Saving Capitalism: For the Many, Not the Few will be available for purchase. The author will be signing books after the event. 
This event is co-sponsored with Stanford PACS and is part of The Ethics of Democracy series.
Free, open to public.
