(hardcover)	Reason Why Liberals Will Win the Battle for America A call to arms for liberals and progressives against what Reich terms the "Radcons", radical conservatives who combine the aggressive "neoconservative" foreign policy of Richard Perle and Robert Kagan with an insistence on interfering with private morality, all the while eliminating social safety nets. Reich's arguments are most persuasive when he takes the approach of the Radcons but turns them around. Yes, he says, morality is crucial to the survival and prosperity of the United States, but instead of worrying about what people do in their own bedrooms, we should focus on public morality, especially as it pertains to overpaid CEOs, corrupt corporations, and the government's tacit approval of them. Reich ultimately sees good news for liberals on the horizon, however. While he thinks millions of Americans are fed up with the overly cautious Democratic Party that won't stand up for it's progressive principals, they are even wearier of the Radcons and "their intolerance, their mean-spiritedness, their moral righteousness, and their arrogance toward the rest of the world."

(hardcover)	I'll Be Short Essentials for a Decent Working Society Brandeis University professor and Clinton labor secretary Reich may be vertically challenged, but he's never been short on ideas. In this brief analysis of what's gone wrong in the U.S. for ordinary citizens, Reich offers a straightforward argument. Our astonishing economic growth after World War II, he maintains, grew out of a social contract: (a) anyone who wants a job should have one; (b) those who work should earn enough to lift themselves and their families out of poverty; and (c) all Americans should have access to an education. This social contract has collapsed over decades of social Darwinism; it needs to be restored.
(paperback)	The Future of Success Working and Living in the New Economy Reich reflects on the changes in the work lives of Americans. As a former U.S. secretary of labor, he is in a good position to know what the "new economy" might hold. Global competition, better information access, and a faster-paced economy will affect all individuals. Reich thinks employees are becoming more like independent contractors; he believes there will be greater opportunities, and also greater insecurities, as some people have already discovered.

(hardcover)	Locked in the Cabinet Robert Reich's own version of reconstructed liberalism is on ample view. But this is no ideological screed aimed at a like-minded audience. It is instead an account of the American political process written by a non-politician. A newcomer to government service, Reich was still tender enough to feel disillusionment at the glacial pace of change. To his credit, though, his sense of humor remained intact. Despite its gloomy title, his book is a comedy, in which an outside observer is parachuted into the midst of a strange, elaborately ritualistic society. And unlike many a traveler into the heart of darkness called Washington, D.C., Robert Reich returned to tell his tale.	(audiobook)

(paperback)	The Resurgent Liberal And Other Unfashionable Prophecies "Liberalism is, I think resurgent. One reason is that more and more people are becoming so painfully aware of the alternative. The other reason is the commitment of clearheaded, lucid, and compelling advocates like Bob Reich." -- John Kenneth Galbraith "If liberal politics is to make a comeback. It will be with the realworld prescriptions of Robert Reich." -- Kevin R. Phillips, author of The Politics of Rich and Poor
