Coming Up Short

In this compelling memoir, Robert Reich reflects on his upbringing in post-World War II America, navigating the complexities of culture, politics, and economics that have shaped today's landscape. Drawing from significant experiences—from encounters with bullies to pivotal moments in civil rights and political movements—Reich interrogates the failures and achievements of his generation. With insight and humor, he offers a vision for reclaiming community and democratic values in a time of rising inequality and corporate power. This work serves as both a personal journey and a call to action for a more inclusive and equitable future.
