Robert Reich developed a social media presence to educate about the risks of oligarchy and inequality. His book, "Coming Up Short," combines memoir and political analysis, reflecting on personal experiences with bullying that shaped his views on supporting marginalized groups. Reich connects the rise of Trump to historical trends over the last 50 years. He stresses that income and wealth inequality contribute to broader social inequalities, urging the need for a wider perspective to empower those affected by these systemic issues.
The rise of Trump cannot be explained without looking at the last 50 years, where bullying and inequality have dictated political dynamics and social justice.
Income and wealth inequality perpetuates other forms of inequality, including those in healthcare, housing, and education, making it essential to connect these societal issues.
People, especially the working-class, are vulnerable to the systemic issues of today because they lack an understanding of the relationship between different societal problems.
