Want to Read $ 4.99"The system is created by people. The question is, 'Which people?' The central issue is not more or less government. It’s 'Who is government for?'. In other words, it’s all a question of power — who has it and who doesn’t."-Robert B. Reich, The System: Who Rigged It, How We Fix It
"The most important political competition over the next decades will not be between the right and left or between Republicans and Democrats. It will be between a majority of Americans who have been losing ground and an economic elite that refuses to recognize or respond to the majority’s growing distress."-Robert B. Reich, The System: Who Rigged It, How We Fix It
"Americans have clung to the meritocratic tautology that individuals are paid what they’re worth in the market, without examining changes in the legal and political institutions that define the market. This tautology is easily confused with a moral claim that people deserve what they are paid. Yet this claim is meaningful only if the system’s legal and political institutions are morally just. It has lured us into thinking nothing can or should be done to alter what people are paid because the market has decreed it. By this logic, the oligarchy is natural and inevitable."-Robert B. Reich, The System: Who Rigged It, How We Fix It
