Critique of capitalism by Robert B. Reich. Capitalism destroys itself when it relies on the profits of the few, says Robert B. Reich, an icon of the American left. This is not about whether we need more market or more state, but rather about who sets the rules of the game. The market rules that a society establishes reflect what it considers good and fair. America, which is on the brink of a presidential election, is a questionable example, as public discontent over the increasing concentration of power is growing. It divides the establishment and anti-establishment, the rich and the poor. However, it is not too late to save capitalism: for everyone, not just for 1 percent. In his book, Reich warns of a current trend that is neither economically nor politically sustainable. Reich is convinced that political economies that exclude the majority of their society are doomed to fail.
