Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
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.

- Robert Reich Professor of Public Policy, University of California at Berkeley's Goldman School of Public Policy; former U.S. Secretary of Labor (1993-1997); and author of "Supercapitalism: The Transformation of Business, Democracy, and Everyday Life" (Knopf)
