About this ebook
The Common Good: by Robert B. Reich | Conversation Starters
Robert B. Reich has worked for three US Presidents and witnessed how cynicism and distrust toward American government, media, banks, corporations, police and religious institutions have steadily grown over the past 50 years. He thinks many leaders in these institutions have contributed to the creation of public distrust. They have forgotten the common good in order to pursue selfish ends. What is to be done and how can citizens revive the common good?
Bestselling author of fifteen books including Supercapitalism, Locked in the Cabinet, and Saving Capitalism, Reich’s The Common Good explores the problem and suggests solutions that will hopefully alter America’s course toward a bleak future.
A Brief Look Inside:

and the characters and its world still live on.
Conversation Starters is peppered with questions designed to
bring us beneath the surface of the page
and invite us into the world that lives on.
