Supercapitalism: The Transformation of Business, Democracy, and Everyday Life
Robert B. Reich
Supercapitalism
From one of America's
foremost economic and political thinkers comes a vital analysis of our
new hypercompetitive and turbo-charged global economy and the effect it
is having on American democracy. With hiscustomary wit and insight,
Reich shows how widening inequality of income and wealth, heightened job
insecurity, and corporate corruption are merely the logical results of a
system in which politicians are more beholden tothe influence of
business lobbyists than to the voters who elected them. Powerful and
thought-provoking, "Supercapitalism" argues that a clear separation of
politics and capitalism will foster anenviroment in which both business
and government thrive, by putting capitalism in the service of
democracy, and not the other way around.
