Robert Reich on Democracy's Bullies

Season 2 Episode 224 | 26m 46s

Former Labor Secretary and longtime professor Robert Reich joins Laura Flanders to discuss two bullies against U.S. democracy: concentrated wealth and corporate power. As Reich shares, growing income inequality yields corruption in our politics and economy. No one election will change everything, but that’s not a reason not to act to defeat the Trump administration — in Congress, and at the polls.

Aired: 04/04/25 | Expires: 04/04/26
Distributed nationally by American Public Television
