The contained talk (which is about an hour long – and worth every minute) details a very pressing issue about what is and is not real in America. Namely, the American Dream – and how it is going away. The definition of poverty and income inequality are major factors in the overall well-being of a society, and Reich makes a very good presentation regarding both here.
In particular, I found interesting his point about the “snap” point – either the snap back, or the break. Because income inequality doesn’t just keep going. Eventually, something snaps it back in shape.
Just ask Marie Antoinette.
