Dear Friend,
Join former U.S. Secretary of Labor Robert Reich for a discussion of The System: Who Rigged It, How We Fix It.
In his new book, Reich, an Economic Policy Institute (EPI) founder, explores America’s power system that he says is designed to bail out corporations rather than people, even in times of crisis. Corporations and the wealthy few benefit from what he calls a socialism for the rich—in which they hold nearly all of the country’s economic and political power—while everyone else is left to endure the harsh realities of capitalism.
“The coronavirus has starkly revealed what most of us already knew,” he writes. “As power has shifted to large corporations, workers have been left to fend for themselves.”
“The system is rigged,” he adds. “But we can fix it.”
EPI President Thea Lee will moderate the discussion about Reich’s book and what life will be like for workers after COVID-19, followed by a Q&A.
Register for the webinar today. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.
