Inequality for All (Aftershock Movie Tie- in Edition)

Description

About the Book :

Updated for movie tie-in publication, Inequality for All is a brilliant reading of the causes of our current economic crisis, with a plan for dealing with its challenging aftermath.

This is the movie tie-in edition for the forthcoming documentary feature, Inequality For All, based on Robert Reich's book Aftershock and his popular class at the University of California, Berkeley. Offering an insightful and original analysis of the causes of our current recession, Reich discusses the reasons why the American middle class's fortunes have stagnated for the past thirty years, and puts forth a blueprint for fixing the fundamental problems with our troubled economy. This film has the potential to do for the economy what An Inconvenient Truth did for the environment.

MOVIE TIE-IN: A big hit at the Sundance film festival in January 2013, where it was runner up for the prestigous Audience Award, the crowd-funded 90-minute documentary film Inequality for All will be distributed by the Weinstein Company in late September (exact date TK). Platform release, expanding to at least 50 top markets. It will also be aired at the Tribeca Film Festival in April where the author will appear on a panel with the movie's producers. The film presents Reich's urgent message about the widening wealth gap in America, and the burden it is placing on the middle class. The film follows Reich in his mission to educate people about the importance of a strong middle class to the American economy.

NEW MATERIAL: Reich has written a new introduction and updated the book to reflect recent political and economic developments.

STRONG PAPERBACK TRACK: All of Reich's paperbacks--especially the recent Supercapitalism, with net sales of over 35,000-have been successes for us. Overall, Reich's titles in all formats have netted over 360,000 copies.

GREAT PROMOTER: Reich regularly appears on Hardball, ABC's This Week, and NPR's Marketplace. He is a trusted voice and is a regular commentator on other television and radio programs as well as on Op-Ed pages.

BIG IDEA: While mistakes by the big banks were a major factor in the recent financial collapse, increasing economic inequality and stagnating wages for the middle class over the past three decades are the root cause for America's economic woes. This book addresses this problem head-on.

COVER QUOTE: "Important and well executed.... Reich is fluent and fearless." --The New York Times Book Review

"A really astonishingly good movie that takes some big economic ideas and how these relate to the quality of everyday life as lived by most ordinary people. " -- Carole Cadwalladr, The Guardian (UK), Feb 2, 2013 (google the entire article)
