  1. Family values and the new economy

    My mother went into paid work soon after my father's clothing store was flooded out in a hurricane, almost wiping him out. She had no choice. We needed the money.

  2. Robert B. Reich: The new American civil war

    The vitriol is worse than I ever recall. Worse than the Palin-induced smarm of 2008. Worse than the Swift-boat lies of 2004. Worse, even, than the anything-goes craziness of 2000 and its ensuing bitterness.

  3. Robert B. Reich: Coming soon to Wall Street, the biggest scandal yet

    Just when you thought Wall Street couldn't sink any lower -- when its excesses are still causing hardship to millions of Americans and its myriad abuses of public trust have already spread a miasma of cynicism over the entire economic system -- an even deeper level of public-be-damned greed and corruption is revealed.

  4. Robert B. Reich: How Wall Street is trying to avoid U.S. oversight

    While all eyes are on the Supreme Court and Obamacare, a quieter battle is being waged against the president's other major initiative, the Dodd-Frank financial reform act.

    Here's a modest proposal I offer free of charge to President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney:
    Here's a modest proposal I offer free of charge to President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney: Every American should get a mandatory minimum of three week's paid vacation a year. Most Americans only get two weeks off right now. But many don't even take...

  6. Mitt Romney's question-mark economy

    We're closing in on Election Day, but the questions about what Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan would do if elected are only growing larger. Rarely before in American history has a presidential ticket campaigned on such a blank slate.

  7. Robert B. Reich: The true meaning of patriotism

    Recently, I publicly debated someone who said Arizona and every other state should use whatever means necessary to keep out illegal immigrants. He wants English to be spoken in every classroom in the nation, and the Pledge of Allegiance recited every morning. And he wants to restore every dollar of the $500 billion in defense cuts scheduled to start in January. "We have to preserve and protect America," he said. "That's the meaning of patriotism."

  8. Robert B. Reich: Economic recovery hinges on re-creation of 'basic bargain'

    The question at the core of America's upcoming presidential election isn't merely whose story most voting Americans believe to be true -- Mitt Romney's claim that the economy is in a stall and President Barack Obama's policies haven't worked, or Mr. Obama's claim that it's slowly mending and his approach is working.

  9. Paul Ryan is the anti-Palin

    Mitt Romney's chosen running mate, Paul Ryan, is the reverse of Sarah Palin. She was all right-wing flash without much substance. He's all right-wing substance without much flash.

  10. Robert B. Reich: Why the economy can't get out of first gear

    Rarely in history has the cause of a major economic problem been so clear, yet have so few been willing to see it.
    Rarely in history has the cause of a major economic problem been so clear, yet have so few been willing to see it. The major reason this recovery has been so anemic is not Europe's debt crisis. It's not, as right-wing economists tell us, because taxes...

  12. Robert B. Reich: The job stall

    However one looks at last Friday's jobs report, it's a stunning reminder of how anemic the recovery has been -- and how perilously close America is to falling into another recession.
