Robert Reich
I mean, you hear the word 'globalization' over and over and over again. Globalization, globalization, globalization. Rarely has a word gone so directly from obscurity to meaninglessness without any intervening period of coherence.

Robert Reich
I think that it's difficult to talk about large questions of economics or social policy without understanding the building blocks of society. And those building blocks are organizations, the people who run them, and the people who work in them.
Robert Reich
There will always be a business cycle, and white-collar workers will get hit in the next recession like they always do in recessions.
Robert Reich
Socialism for rich bankers and capitalism for everyone else.
Robert Reich
If leadership is about anything, it's about leading. Not leading people back to where they already are, because they don't need that. They're already there.
Robert Reich
Well-trained and dedicated employees are the only sustainable source of competitive strength.
Robert Reich
Education is not the only answer and it's certainly not the immediate solution. At best, it's a necessary, but not sufficient response to widening inequality.
Robert Reich
Cynicism is the last refuge of those who don't want to do the work of creating a better society.
Robert Reich
In the life of a nation, few ideas are more dangerous than good solutions to the wrong problems.
