As a birthday present to me (yes, today’s another one — yeegads!) I thought I’d give you a small gift — this free showing of “Inequality for All.” It’s the award-winning film I co-created a few years back with the great director Jacob Kornbluth. Even those of you who have already seen it might find it a useful reminder about what’s happened and why. It also gives context to many of the themes in my Wealth and Poverty course (and, as you’ll see, originated in that same Berkeley classroom).
Just double-click below.
Eager to have your thoughts, comments, and reactions. Also, please feel free to share.
Happy Birthday, Professor Reich! Thank you for giving us this gift. My husband and I did a showing of your very fine documentary in our home several years ago -- a couple dozen friends/neighbors came. (Professor Reich gave us permission to do that after buying and viewing the DVD.)
Anyone who wants to understand where the MAGA movement cam from should see this doc. It explains why many working people are so angry/became militant right wingers, and how Don the Con co-opted that anger, used it to get elected in 2016, and to launch an insurrection when he lost in 2020.
Happy Birthday to my favorite professor😊! Most hopeful part -- we, the people, not corporations (fake people) have the power of the vote. However, with this power comes the kuleana (privileged responsibility) to learn who the candidates are really working for.... Looking forward to the day you come and visit Hawai'i. See the grass roots, incredible indigenous aloha 'āina initiatives here.
