Review # 1 was written on 2016-03-21 00:00:00 Patrick Peristeri In some ways eerily prescient, and in some very dated, Reich's mid-80s work criticizes both liberals and conservatives. Known today as one of America's most prominent liberals, in this book he seeks a third stream: a compassionate alliance of business and government that also recognizes the need for those receiving compassion to be productive. The chapter on gridlock is the best explanation I've seen for what has gone wrong in business and government in the past few decades and may have inspired Bill Clinton to appoint Reich as his Secretary of Labor.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-05-30 00:00:00 Frederic Ward From a colleague, March 2014: Just attended a talk at the GEO conference on "Master Narratives: The Stories that Move Americans", where Andy Goodman argued that "if you're in the changing-the-world business, then you're in the changing-stories business", and that "if you're telling stories to change minds, then you have to know what stories are already in those minds." He also suggested 4 great books that describe the narratives that dominate the American 'psyche.' This is book 1 of 4.
