The Future of Success Audiobook (Free)

If you believe it’s getting harder to both earn a living and help to make a life, economist and former secretary of labor Robert Reich will abide by you. Americans could be earning as part of your before, but we’re having to pay a steep cost: we’re operating longer, seeing our families much less, and our areas are fragmenting.

With the clarity and insight that are his hallmarks, Reich delineates what success has come to mean inside our time. He demonstrates that although we have more options as consumers, and investors, the options themselves are undermining the rest of our lives. It really is getting harder for folks to be assured of what they will be earning next year, as well as next month. At exactly the same time, our culture is definitely splitting into socially stratified enclaves–the wealthier walled off and gated, the poorer isolated and disregarded. Even though styles he discusses are effective, they are not irreversible, and Reich makes provocative suggestions for how we might create a more balanced culture and as pleasing lives. Some of his concepts may shock you; all should spark a healthy-and essential-national debate.
