    Product Description

    In this eBook exclusive, Robert B. Reich urges Americans to get beyond mere outrage about the nation’s increasingly concentrated wealth and corrupt politics in order to mobilize and to take back our economy and democracy.

    Americans can’t rely only on getting good people elected, Reich argues, because nothing positive happens in Washington unless good people outside Washington are organized to help make those things happen after the election. But in order to be effectively mobilized, we need to see the big picture. Reich connects the dots for us, showing why the increasing share of income and wealth going to the top has hobbled jobs and growth for everyone else, while undermining our democracy; has caused Americans to become increasingly cynical about public life; and has turned many Americans against one another. He also explains why the proposals of the “regressive right” are dead wrong and provides a clear road map for what must be done instead. Here is a blueprint for action for everyone who cares about the future of America.

    This review is from: Beyond Outrage: What has gone wrong with our economy and our democracy, and how to fix them (Kindle Single) (Kindle Edition)
    Beyond Outrage: What has gone wrong with our economy and our democracy, and how to fix it by Robert B. Reich

    "Beyond Outrage" is a plea for action for those who care about the Future of America. Accomplished author of twelve books and current Professor of Public Policy, Robert Reich provides insight to what happened to our economy and how to fix it. In a lucid and persuasive manner, Reich provides compelling arguments in support of his main thesis: that our economy and democracy has been manipulated against average working people and what can be done about it. This Kindle Single is an intellectual appetizer. This 1744 KB book is broken out into three parts: Part One. The Rigged Game, Part Two. The Rise of the Regressive Right, and Part Three. Beyond Outrage: What You Need to Do.

    Positives:
    1. Well written, accessible book that gets to the points.
    2. Robert Reich is an excellent author with a mastery of the subject.
    3. Establishes upfront the... Read more

    5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Short e-book on How to Advance A Fair Political System in the United States, April 18, 2012

    Wonderful "single" e-book containing suggestions from Robert B. Reich about identifying the problems the United States is facing. HIs focus on the future of the United States in the economy, and the lives of the people living here. He provides a simple and clear explanation for the causes of our problems, what is happening now, and what needs to happen in the future. Reich also reminds people that it can take years to accomplish changes. The enhanced edition contains videos which provide further explanation and clarity for his talking points. I was a bit frustrated because the videos wouldn't play on my Kindle Fire, on my Kindle app on my computer or in the Amazon Cloud Player. There was no guidance regarding the devices I might read my enhanced book on. Finally I tried my IPad and it worked quite well. I just don't know why it was left to me to find the perfect device. Better labeling would help. But anyway, nice book.

    I often read Dr. Reichs columns and find his analysis right on target. I was not disappointed here.

    If only he was back in a policy position. It's this type of wisdom we need implemented

    PS: the videos ( with his excellent charts) will not work on Android or PC versions of Kindles

    Oh. And Joe Scarborough I watch Morning Joe every morning. Please read this book.
