The System

Who Rigged It, How We Fix It
Book • 2020
In 'The System', Robert B. Reich examines how wealth and power have combined to install an oligarchy, eroding democracy and exacerbating income inequality.

He critiques myths like meritocracy and corporate social responsibility, arguing that these concepts are used to justify the accumulation of wealth by the elite.

Reich advocates for systemic change to reclaim power for the majority.
