I wish I could say that the info he presents is outdated, but no such luck. He does a great job of presenting complex data in an accessible, understandable way, without oversimplifying it, & shows how it's all interrelated. The graphics &…

I think Reich is a Humanist and an Optimist in a cynical partisan polarized world. His unwavering energy and devotion to teaching what he believes is admirable. I don't think this is propoganda. That is a label that I wouldn't put on…

I managed to wade through this propaganda piece promoting a socialist approach to economics (which hasn't worked anywhere in the world) by a former member of several left-leaning liberal administrations, including the Clinton cabinet. For…

I love Robert Reich. He makes the world a better place by using his intelligence to advocate and fight for those who don't benefit from the current economic rules. He is able to explain complex economic concepts in simple,…

StarGladiator and Ravenheart took the words right out of my mouth. I agree with their comments entirely. Free trade is devestating America's (and Canada's) economies respectively. When you outsource work to foreigners and depend on…

I am a non-economist and non-political type retired senior who believes in and follows Robert Reich when I can. He is an excellent speaker and "dumbs" down the information to where everyone can understand it. I think he has already made…

I am thinking about buying a copy simply because it does a good job of showcasing some of the issues for people who really have little understanding about economics. They'd be surprised to see a professor anywhere (let alone a former…

Makes lots of good points. Not a lot of ideas for fixing things though.

If non-economists want to watch one film about the devastating effects of income and wealth inequality on Democracy, this is it. The graphics are just outstanding and his bridge curve for the level of inequality shows us that the last two…

PBS has done it again very well done documentary series. This movie was interesting, informative, and worse seeing!! I recommend this movie for all to see. Well worth the price of admission to any theater.

The film is very insightful with expository information. Do yourself a favor to educate yourself to understand the insights of political intricacies. It will make a lot of sense what is going on in today life.

Robert Reich seems like a decent guy, and on the surface, he looks like he is pulling for the "everyman" in this documentary, but he is completely misguided about Free Trade. You simply cannot have free trade with countries that have a…

The movie is simply amazing. It's also on Netflix. This is an extremely important film, not only for the U.S., but for any society around the world. StarGladiator, who wrote his review on 1/25/2014, is incorrect in his judgment of Reich.…

"Inequality For All" is such an ironic title.

This Sundance award-winning DVD is a cogent and intelligent explanation of the basics of why our nation's economy is in such a stagnant state for the majority of its citizens. Jon Stewart was amazed to learn that the U.S. ranks a lowly…

A perfect example of the title is the recent activity of the Boeing company's leverage use of workers benefits to secure area jobs. It was necessary to give up previously negotiated benefits (pension plan, wage increases and reduction of…

The movie Inequality for All provides an in-depth explanation of the US economy and how the middle class has been decimated over the last forty years. The wealthiest 1% of Americans are now richer and more powerful than at any time in…

Excellent documentary - a must-see for anyone who would like a lucid (and entertaining!) analysis of how the U.S. economy got so screwed up. And for Canada - what we must avoid...

[ravenheart's comments below really nails it!] I remember when Reich was part of the Clinton administration, during the second official /// jobless recovery \\\ and he publicly stated he was clueless as to why no jobs were being created…
