Class 3: “Globalization, Tech & Future Work” by UC Berkeley Professor Reich

Welcome back to week three of Wealth and Poverty.

Last week, we began the process of answering the questions,

or several questions, that I put on the table for the first week and also the beginning of the second week.

And that is: why is this going on? Why the extraordinary increase in income and wealth disparities in the United States?

Why are other countries following along? Is there something about the nature of late capitalism or free markets?
