MAN! I so wish I could take a class taught by Robert Reich, I would have so much fun! I would love to meet him!
Me to I have always wanted to ask him why he believes in communism
Glad this is being taught, vital information not covered on most news and information outlets. A motivated young electorate might just save this country.
Frederic Bastiat because anybody owning billions of dollars if by virtue taking wealth from others. you cannot have that much money without it directly correlating to starving children and homeless old people and poverty running rampant
Frederic Bastiat if you have no other work options yeah you're gonna work for shit wages and if you're broke you're gonna by your stuff there bc it's cheap ... you dumb fucks think the government setting a minimum wage is coercive but you don't seem to get how having a little child cry in your arms from hunger pains is JUST a little more coercive. people like you are fucking gross
Frederic Bastiat wages are actually too low which is what allows for this type of inflation and income inequality anyway which is why raising the minimum wage to $15 in cities doesn't ever actually crush businesses the way conservatives think it will
Lmao unfortunate last name these days :/
My grandfather was one of those who spent his life lobbying the Wisconsin State Legislature to promote laws helping small and medium sized businesses. That's when Republicans were committed to helping the people of America recover from the depression and war. Many of today's billionaire families got started after the Civil War during reconstruction. Notice the names at the end of the book "Blood on the Tracks". The ruthless push on the workers resulted in the beginning of their forming unions for protection. I'm a baby boomer and was around in the 1960s. This feels like the most exciting time for young people to become involved socially and politically since then.
Unions destroyed general motors Ford had no union they took no taxpayer bailout
I would love seeing Mr Reich do a Ted Talk. Good stuff. More please!
I think he did one...

Most popular class in Yale's history teaches happiness
Dr. Laurie Santos puts on a microphone and headset before standing on a stage in a concert hall and presenting her class to nearly 1,200 students.
Yale is starting to offer classes like these, I LOVE IT !!!!!!
Rich people have to have infrastructure labor skilled tradesmen captains truck drivers logistic specialist programmers data entry .... the list goes on and on.. .....
Haven’t seen Wheeler Hall being SO packed out since I was there in the 60’s. Wonderfull sign of hope for the future.
The Nordic nations have closed the poverty gap. If they can do it, so can everyone. The book "The Nordic Theory of Everything" is very interesting.
Very nice 👍 lecture. You are awesome 👏 Professor Reich.
Would love a Berkley online class with Mr. Reich. Despite the fact I'm 70+, I still love a challenging class & think his would be one. Students from the 1960s need to become this nation's power voices again with help from people like Reich!
I can’t believe this haven’t got billion views
applause from us the youtube audience too, the third element - efficacy - is critical to flip from despair to hope and leap to act, climate change here we come!
Sadly, this man is influencing future generations.
as opposed to Ayn Rand?
Hi from New Zealand,
THE WORLD IS WATCHING!!!!
This is so cool
Just so you know, I wave back every time.
I choose b
For my preference and what i think most americans want
A great series of lectures that should be more widely viewed. It may save the United States from Corporate Raiders like Carl Icahn that we would be all better of if they did not exist
Great lecture! The second question can actually be solved using knowledge of probability (sampling). The results anonymously given by the UCB students may suggest that the majority (if not most) of them are richer than the majority of Americans.
P.S. It may be even more surprising to know that some so-called communist countries have even more surprising data!
So most American's prefer the old level of wealth distribution that was found in the 1950's, when we were at our peak pace of economic, infrastructural, educational, and scientific advancement in the last century. And the income taxation rate was at it's most progressive along the curve.
In nineteen fifty six one person could support a family of four when that child turned twenty it took two people Robert Reich is very very wrong as we get more policys Reich supports the poorer we become paying unskilled labor to high no one will want to put the effort into getting a job that requires a lot of effort
Our living standards has dropped roughly in half since nineteen fifty six due to the policies Reich supports Reich believes in a livable wage healthcare and paid family leave for all workers while taxing a doctor who in new York will make four hundred thousand a year very high so if you drop out of high school get a job at burger king you should get a livable wage vacation time healthcare and paid family leave and according to Elizabeth Warren free childcare while if you go to college maney years become a doctor work long hours risk your own health during pandemic you should be forced to pay over half your income to the government that is going to destroy our nation jealousy over our neighbors wealth Reich is a communist
Creating good citizens, of any country : ) If only we could all participate...
I would really appreciate knowing the basis for efficacy in America today. With this first class, I have found a pinpoint of openness to thinking that there may be something I can do that will be effective to bring about social, economic, political, judicial, environmental justice in America today.
Why should a doctor who goes maney years to college works very long hours get over half there income taken in taxes how is that fair
When I was a kid in the 60's in my home town we had many small neighborhood grocery stores, and there were likely many reasons for that. Most families (remember this was the baby boom era) had only one car, but I'm sure there were other reasons. The larger grocery stores down town, were not all that big. They were larger than the neighborhood stores, but they were not as large as the stores we might see today. On the edge of town a shopping mall opened and failed, then big box stores abounded on one edge of town near the interstate. Downtown closed up shop for the most part. It's not at all the town I remember. I think it used to be more like B.
I like his voice
A great professor!
Ol' Bob understands people . wants us to see we are the contributors to our own history . our place in the social-political ecology of our time.
We determine the ideal.
Also he premises we ought to find things out for ourselves and not accept all that might be suggested to us.
Me thinks.
Bababa broad ideal and reality.
Social change? Rally the troops. We need a dose of truth. Thanks for peaking the minds interest.
Between the two options at the beginning, I'll go with option B
Why
Thanks...from ADK 2021...on the cusp of new year ...cheers ps 70 yo...ha
I wanted to go to Berkeley so much!
B
Revolution 101 :)
I want We the people to change wealth for our nation's benefit. Otherwise we have another revolution.
Cool :o)
When we had the recession of '08 or so, I saw many grocery stores close. On one hill, near where I live, we lost 2 large grocery stores. Only 1 is there now, and it is crowded. Another store tried but it was unsuccessful. I don't know why it failed. I preferred to shop there. We also lost 2 gas stations, and I found gas 50 cents a gallon cheaper a few miles away. No, I don't like to see the wealth going only to the few. Wages have not yet recovered from what they were, before the recession, if we adjust for inflation. Only a year or so ago, did I see my wage go back up to where it was before the recession. It's a tough market out there, I suppose, but I would like to see some kind of incentives for small businesses, and less restrictions on small businesses. Larger businesses seem to have the money to hire people to keep up with all the regulation.
I wonder how the bar looks now, post pandemic...
Gruel. You have to feed them gruel. If you feed them meat they'll start thinking that they can rise above their station....

The groups that choose A ,they don't want change.
Greetings from Auburn University in Auburn Alabama. Another great public university!
Amazing job - unfortunately most people are still blind for the facts and consequences of (too big) inequality.
Why is something like this never presented as documentary on national television?
Why so few views- so far?
China under mao made a big deal reducing inequality result people starved
can i get this presentation?
I was disappointed that such a high-caliber university with such a high-caliber presenter would not have his slides have citations of the facts they are stating. Michael Norton? This is a significant oversight in my opinion. If you want to sway opinion cite your sources. For the way I am a left of left socialist. I prefer people be precise in their arguments defending us.
A represents the greedy big cooperation.
B
I suspect theose who are in the top 20% already, or believe they are likely to be in the 20% are likely to choose A.
Forced wealth distribution?
Why are there so few views?!
Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies can make this kind of change ultimately. BUT! Most don't take the time and effort to learn the truth about this. There is a kind of responsibility that goes with it. Money and wealth is an important factor for equality. Unfortunately,, more money or wealth usually means more power and, as the saying goes, "Absolute power, corrupts absolutely!" The overall goal of crypto is for all people to be equally empowered financially. Many just want to "get rich quick" ,and do not accept the new responsibility of change. Or, they are frightened of losing the power they think they have over others with their wealth. Human beings are distrustful and when allowed to, will lie and cheat to hold on to that power. Cryptocurrencies redefine TRUST. They do not depend on powerful centralized institutions run by people who are distrustful or dishonest. This "new money" depends on math and code and technology and science. This is what humans can TRUST. After all, 2 plus 2 will always be 4. BUT it will take a long time to change humans to TRUST in these things. It is also human nature to want more or protect what one has. This is what we have taught ourselves. not understanding or TRUSTING in ourselves, that their is really enough for all. We do not need to FEAR. We need to learn to TRUST! and believe in ourselves and our greatness.
Sidney Cato go listen to rush
i go to miami...the ACTUAL best public university ❣️
opening music is waaaay too loud. speech needs to be edited down. way too verbose for the best students who got it long ago. Bernie has told everyone 3 people have more than the bottom half. The amounts the 1% and .001% have is much more antagonizing. Condition 3 is guillotines.
he's so tiny lmao
"Best students ever" and they all clap, don't people have any shame? egotists!
fuckfannyfiddlefart tis a joke chief
Communist propaganda
Robert....you wouldn’t last 30 seconds where I work! We actually produce real and tangible products that make the world go around. I really hope you are not being paid for this diatribe!
Bob needs to start his own communist utopian country with that arcadian chart
And you need to move to North Korea where you would feel more at home.
Lenny Gordon haha.. good one but i don't get it. I'm happy here, living that American dream. I came from a country near NK, i wouldn't go back anytime soon
Suddenly that explains everything about you. You see, here in America our Constitution and Bill of Rights was designed to support all the people. To have a country governed by all the people. Not just a few. Our ancestors left Europe because it was controlled by just a few. Currently our country is owned and controlled by just a few. Currently its more of a Oligarchy chalked full of nepotism. During the late 1800's all the way up through the 1920's companies and corporations had barely any regulations. This lead to worse and worse and worse conditions for the general population. The ultra rich took every advatage they could no matter the human harm it caused. Eventually a tipping point is reached. The great depression kicked in and our economy collapsed. You can only whip a circus lion for so long, eventually it dies or turns on you. Then FDR came into power. Minimum wage was enacted. Workers rights came into play. Unions were formed. Monopolies were broken up. We formed jobs by created parks and more road systems and waterways. America distributed wealth and prospered quicker that any other point in its history. These were the days that the "American Dream" / "Leave it to Beaver" image were painted from. Unless you were anything but white. Then you were generally fucked throughout Americas history. But large corporations and the top 2% are in it for the long run so they began slowly but surely through one law here and another there, they eroded away what our forefathers had planned. Eventually they were able to directly donate as much money as they wanted to political campaigns and lobbyist. That has been the last 40-50 years and things have only gotten worse. With Trump in power and this last tax bill it is the absolute culmination of the efforts of the top 2%. So I understand that you would not know any of this since you have obviously not studied our history. You can do what you want with it. I intend on debating where I can, protesting where I can, and being involved in politics where I can in order to keep america being By and For the people you ignorant wishing for a dictator piece of shit.
youre right about corruption. as long as there will be man, corruption will exist. Whether fascism, communism, socialism, monarchy, capitalism.. you will not remove human nature. Let me remind you, those corporations you speak so badly of, mostly supported Clinton, as did Robert Reich, the lecturer to this video. Good day sir
i - And here we go. I swear to fucking god people like you cant go more than three breaths without mentioning Clinton. GET IT IN YOU FUCKING DENSE SKULL, SHE LOST! She's gone, she was gone along time ago. You know why she lost, because massive amounts of us did not have the stomach to vote for her because she was a corporate puppet. Unlike the fucking republicans. They said awww fuck it. I'll fuck this country just so I can say I won. Good job. You put the worst corporate puppet this country...world has ever seen into power. BUT I digress. SHE IS GONE, been gone a loooong time. Fucking get over it. The rest of us dropped talking about her the second she lost. Fucking gawd damnit you people move slow. Second, Fuck the hell fucking right off. Robert Reich and Inequality Media is not funded by a giant multi million dollar corporation. It is publicly funded and Robert Reich teaches and writes books to pay the bills. STOP FUCKING LIEING! I have caught you lieing several times now you uneducated shit bag. If you would take two fucking seconds to research any of the diarrhea oozing out your mouth you might try to mop it up before any of us saw it. Or you can keep lieing to try to validate your selfish life choices, you can keep proving me right and you get to keep looking like an ignorant liar.
Welcome to Propaganda
Yes, unless the rich have zero regulations allowing them to completely shit all over everyone in any way they want without any repercussions ever, then it must be communism. Or maybe if you did your homework you could very easily and clearly see that exactly that kind of thinking during the 1920s is what lead to horrid worker conditions, horrid worker pay and then the great depression. Sadly because of your kind of thinking we are all doomed to repeat it. There are plenty of countries around the world that have successfully done a far better job than the USA in wealth distribution and still maintain a very clear democracy and capitalistic market for and by the people. But yeah, like you said, any iota of human decency must be complete communism.
Lenny Gordon 20's? were almost in the 20s now, and everyone in the ghetto and their mother has an iPhone. pretty good on wealth distribution I'd say
Ahh I see your one of the ignorants that fell for the "welfare queen" propaganda of the Regan years. Welp, I can tell you your very wrong. Yes some may have a smart phone, but thats it. Poor people live 10 to a house that should be for 2. Poor people work 16 hour work days at 2 jobs 7 days a week just to live pay check to pay check so they can buy food and pay rent. Minimum wage has increased over the last 50 years at about 25% of the speed of cost of living. The wealthiest are given tax write of after tax write off making them richer and richer while the poor get poorer and poorer. America is no longer great and has not been for a long time. When people try to call back to a time when America was great. It was just after FDR and the recovery from the great depression. Its because that is when we had proper wealth distribution. That is when corporations were regulated and shut down if they stepped out of line. That is when we had better worker rights. That is when bankers committing fraud went to jail . That is when FDR taxed the wealthiest 90% of their income and made them pay because they had been made wealthy by the people so they should cough it up FOR the people. That is when even with minimum wage, if you worked real hard, you could buy a home. That is when only a single income was needed to support a home. Modern America is a fucking shell of its former self. It was once a great nation by and for the people, for the working class. Now is by and for the wealthy period. There are so many nations around the world that have done far better than america and it has everything to do with them making their wealthiest pay for the country that is making them rich. For the love of humanity go fucking educate yourself on actual facts, statistics and history.
u seem to understand allot about propaganda ... why dont u go c PUTIN or KIM JUNG UN .. theres allot of dictators that need ppl like u that understand everything about propaganda .. ur an ugly human being !!!
True
Lenny Gordon
But the top top 400 families want another depression and more war for even more wealth inequality. Then the poor will just die.
Goooo Communism!
The childish should sit in back

PAUL WHALEY no one says its perfect but i lived in both. I'll pick usa 🇺🇸
PAUL WHALEY best parts are the bread lines, im sure, or is it the gulogs? perhaps its the censorship. Great firewall of china doing pretty well, and Venezuela gas lots of happiness lately
It's so silly to boil it down to Capitalism vs Communism. It's not one or the other. We obviously know communism doesn't work. But it's becoming painfully obvious, including to economists, that capitalism is pretty sub-par. Yes, sub-par is better than catastrophic to be sure, but there are actually better options out there, e.g. regulated capitalism, or social democracy, or whatever you want to call it. Basically, it's capitalism where you include lessons from economics and game theory, and stop being an ideologue.
