Millions of Americans have lost confidence in our political and economic system. With the characteristic clarity and passion that has made him a central civil voice, former Secretary of Labor Robert B. Reich shows how wealth and power have interacted to install an elite oligarchy, eviscerate the middle class, and undermine democracy. Join us for a conversation with Mr.Reich on his latest book, The System: Who Rigged It, How We Fix It. 

Christopher Lydon, host of the original podcast, Open Source, heard in Boston on WBUR, will moderate.
