Class 14: “The Future of Inequality (& You?)” by UC Berkeley Professor Reich

This is the last class of my Wealth & Poverty course and my final time teaching it at UC Berkeley. Even if you haven’t had a chance to keep up with all the others, please make sure to join this one. I summarize the main points of the course, give a short history of the struggle for social justice in America, and talk about how my students (including you) can make a difference in the future. Plus I’m planning a surprise at the end. I hope you’ve enjoyed this class. Even more importantly, I hope it’s made you think harder about widening inequality — and perhaps want to take action to make your community, state, America, or whatever nation you call home, a more just and humane society. Thank you for joining me. Additional readings can be found here: https://robertreich.substack.com/p/my...
