When the nation's economy foundered in 2008, blame was almost universally directed at Wall Street. But celebrated economic policy maker and political theorist Robert B. Reich suggests a different reason for the meltdown: the increasing concentration of income at the top, and a middle class deep in debt to maintain a decent standard of living. In Aftershock, Reich offers a practical, humane, and much-needed blueprint for lastingly improving America's economy. (Bestseller).
