«Aftershock: The Next Economy and America's Future» is the economic essay by Robert B. Reich, published by Random House in hardcover (174 pages, in English).
Reich argues that the 2008 crisis is not explained by Wall Street, but by the concentration of wealth in a minority and the indebtedness of the middle class, which diminishes their purchasing power and worsens politics. He proposes expanding social protection and taxing large fortunes to achieve shared prosperity and avoid recessions.
First edition under the Knopf imprint of Random House, published in the United States on September 21, 2010.
Recommended for readers interested in economics, inequality, and public policy in the United States.
