THE SYSTEM - ROBERT B REICH KARTONIERT (TB)

From the bestselling author of Saving Capitalism and The Common Good   comes an urgent analysis
of how the "rigged" systems of American politics and power operate  how this status quo came to
be  and how average citizens can enact change.   Millions of Americans have lost confidence in
our political and economic system. With the characteristic clarity and passion that has made
him a central civil voice  Robert B. Reich shows how wealth and power have interacted to
install an elite oligarchy  eviscerate the middle class  and undermine democracy. Using Jamie
Dimon  the chairman and CEO of JPMorgan Chase as an example  Reich exposes how those at the top
propagate myths about meritocracy  national competitiveness  corporate social responsibility 
and the "free market" to distract most Americans from their accumulation of extraordinary
wealth and power. They have chosen to uphold self-serving policies that line their own pockets
and benefit their bottom line. Reich's objective is not to foster cynicism  but rather to
demystify the system so that we might instill fundamental change and demand that democracy
works for the majority once again.
