The Triumph of Capitalism ?

Listen Wednesday, Sep. 5, 2007 at 1:06 p.m. in Economy, Society

In the aftermath of Labor Day, as the business world returns to work after a summer lull, we look at whether our consumer-driven economy has been undermining democracy over the past 30 years. So says former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich. Reich joins Kojo to explain why he suggests a fundamental rethinking of the relationship between business, consumers, and the government, including the elimination of the corporate income.
