1. Trump will be re-elected! Get ready to be mad at him until 2024.

2. I see many poor people with a phone. In fact that might be the one thing they have.

3. People are born with massive inequality – inequality of talent, inequality of skill, inequality of ambition, etc. Why is anybody surprised when those inequalities lead to inequality of income and wealth??

4. You end up in the same situation just a another level. 😉 it's like throwing a bone. And why would the people who created the poverty line not consider the relative cost? I'm sure they are all PhDs.

5. 2005!! A voice crying in the wilderness

6. It would be interesting to see how the graphs have proceeded the last 15 years. I live just above poverty and can not afford to help my kid or go on a vacation. I have a mountain of student debt that I will never be able to pay off. I basically live to work till I eventually die or get some health issue. I see many of the rich people in my everyday job and can tell you they do not care about fairness. People only care about what affects themselves.

7. Read the Powell Doctrine written in 1971.It set us on this course.

8. Robert Reich might be short in stature, but he is an intellectual giant.

9. I love the comments at the end about "blue states," as if this is helping a fucking thing. Yes, let's applaud ourselves at the University of Berkeley, as the policies of Democrats (and yes, Republicans) destroy the last vestiges of the welfare state.

10. "Hey, Nineteen seventy nine, on behalf of the working and middle class, fuck you!"
    Liam Neeson (net worth $85,000,000 approx).

11. It is almost as if trump watched your lectures and decided that he wanted to snap/break the USA. He wouldn't even have to read.

12. Wealth at the top destroys small business, leaving less people with the chance to have a nice little business where they live their own life

13. This man is really short

14. Most interesting lecture. Astounding if you realize what turn the world took from 2005. The crisis of financial capitalism in 2008 and the media revolution by the smartphone since 2007. An ever increasing wealth and cultural divide what resulted in the populist Trump.
    Will the US still be one state in say 30 years or be split, more or less peaceful like CzechoSlovakia, in two or more new political entities?

15. You can ask that question Mr Reich, and I can ask you the question: -Didn't you work for Mr NAFTA himself aka Bill the rapist Clinton?
    Now you can ask yourself some questions: -Does NAFTA make America more unequal?
    Does- NAFTA make the working class poorer?

    Instead of inviting geniuses like f.ex Michael Parenti to speak, they hire this establishment tool, a guy that's quite happy playing ball, keep the status quo and live among the 1% in total safety and comfort. Cocksucker!

16. Well Reich, you gave away most US industry to foreign workers including Silicon Valley so what else do you want. We know you hate white people, don't you?

17. The bottom is worse off. but in the example, the power shift would immediately be used to accelerate inequality. Poverty would not be eliminated, and the poor would have no ability influence the society at all

18. as long as the middle has access to the trappings of wealth, in moderation, the center will hold.
    the difficulty lies in finding a structure that encourages and supports the the most number to seek self actualization through their own efforts.

19. Reich sounds so prescient in the last 10 minutes.

20. It's your choice.

21. Or possibly just the brakes.

22. Time to put the break on greed.

23. Reich's solutions are awful: early education doesn't work, pumping up inflation is short-run, executive salaries are peanuts compared to what large shareholders make. They reflect his own class and ethnic interests. His sermon against populism amounts to saying "Don't blame anyone like me or anyone I like."

24. This is a man who knows things. He never predicted the shit that happened in 2008. This is truly the troll of the top.

25. Republicans see no problem. Maybe because they're owned by the top 1%.

26. I didn't hear any solutions here, just some pretty accurate predictions but no accountability! Who is responsible? What needs to be done? So, what's the point of this?

27. Ten years later and inequality has only gone from bad to worse, yet politicians do nothing! Bernie Sanders is the only politician who genuinely cares about fairness in the system

28. If he'd been a foot taller he might be president.

29. I love when a rich elite tells me I should be making more money while HE STUFFS HIS FACE WITH MILLIONS OF OUR TAX DOLLARS for ZERO lectures at one of those elite universities.

30. PARETO DISTRIBUTION, idiot. There is NO "We". Democracy is two wolves and one sheep voting on what's for dinner.

31. How unequal can America get? YOU and LeBron James. That's how unequal, you Marxist commie degenerate.

32. Robert Reich is an 'arschloch', otherwise he would never have been friends with the Clintons, accepted a cabinet position under Pres. Clinton, and be foaming at the mouth now about President Trump.

33. This guy wants to steal your money because he thinks he will spend it better than you.

34. Prescient or what?

35. @33:00 his point will only be exacerbated by the industrial revolution 3.0 with the advent of fusion electricity, as it will eliminate jobs except service jobs.

36. Fuck this scumbag criminal.

37. Mr. Reich is a prophet, not in the sense of predicting the future, but in the sense of seeing the consequences of a society's actions. That's what all great prophets do. That said, he predicted Trump, or someone like Trump, he predicted a demagogue appealing to the large mass of struggling people. God that we had a president and high government officials with minds like his!

38. How Unequal Can America Get? Very Unequal!
    The Game is Rigged. The Rich = Central banks+Governments+Big Corporations against >>> you <<<

39. It is better to redefine what is democracy and what it stand for, i.e. , create a new defining parameters that accept the existence of huge inequality of rich against poor, the economic discrimination of social opportunities and stop looking economic and social data per country but the data of global development instead. The video "Global Thinkers: Martin Wolf ' A Crisis of Capitalism?" Published on May 18, 2018 shows facts that is of real concern if it is about a country performance but in global terms the economy is doing well. Mixing a country economic data as important in a globalized economy is making less and less meaning.

40. I dont think that somebody getting rich hurts other people. Lets say you start a business employ 15 people pay them a decent wage, and deliver a product worth $50,000,000 in value to your customers and earn $5,000,000 in profits how are you taking away something? You added $45,000,000 worth of value to the world.

41. His net worth chart really should use a log scale on the Y axis. It's hard to see changes in any but the top curve. And he says he's an admirer of Tufte!

42. 44-49

43. Ignoring his warnings today is a serious mistake too …

44. As for the housing policies in the US – there were programs to have development projects to include a percentage of low income housing within the project – and even though it is encouraged on paper – in reality the local populations protest these development projects – because the – "well to do" – don't want low income housing in or close to their neighbourhoods. And real estate agencies that accept coupons for rental assistance (from the government) are only in low income neighborhoods – and in the well to do neighborhoods – the real estate agents refuse to accept rental assistance coupons.

    It is the rich discriminating against the poor – and the fairness you talk about is given lip service – but when push comes to shove – the rich, only want to live side by side, with the rich and actually fight to keep low income families out of their neighborhoods. Gentrification is the values of the 1% – 10% ers… And they will look at you as a bleeding heart.

    And another thing… even if the majority of citizens want a fairer system – the 1% ers pay lobbyists to pay off the congress to repress changes. Until you get money out of politics – nothing will change.

    I think we are heading for a snap break. And soon. And this shows one thing – most rich people are ignorant… even if you share this information with them – they will continue to push society towards the snap break scenario.

45. Prediction of the rise of Trump.

    Looks like there will be no snap back, it is a snap break. 15 years on, the situation has become even worse. The 2008 recession and the following economic growth without recovery of the middle and working class has made the inequality alot sharper. We have seen a billionaire demagogue telling the working class he will fight for them because he is one of them, then take them to the cleaners.

46. Listening to this in 2017 and Australia, I think how prescient this man is. All who are small "d" democrats should be alarmed at the trends.

47. It is not about the top few percent out distancing the rest.

    That is a shell game you are playing.

    The real focus should be on the bottom 50% who represent the cognitively impoverished. Those whose genetics are their biggest limiting factor.
