It is an excellent history lesson, but it should be expanded to cover 2 additional topics: 1) The decline of the separation of church and state ... the rise of white christian nationalism and the scam that is the so called evangelical movement lead by charlatan pretend con men scam preachers. This is a serious and ever growing problem in the USA today. 2) The complete dysfunction of the federal income tax system.....which has been hollowed out over decades and is largely responsible for the ever growing wealth inequality today. A couple of simple principles could go a long ways towards making the income tax system work as it is supposed to do ...1) all forms of income taxed the same, and 2) all taxpayers taxed under the same tax rules (ie. a corporate tax rules for everyone and every entity, including charities, religion, non-profits, etc.)

Education is the key, community discussions, consistent involvement, holding elected and appointed politicians accountable and most important voting. Remember poverty is the same regardless of race. Poverty is growing and the system is not providing equity and mutually beneficial outcomes. We need and require deeply affordable housing based upon 30% of household income throughout the USA to address homelessness. If the USA can invest in War the USA should, can and must create the economic incentive to create true deeply affordable housing for people working and receiving poverty wages as well as retired and disabled. As you can see I agree with the presentation. Again Thank you Professor Reich!

Hey Professor Reich, THANK YOU - This is AWESOME...!!! 🙂👍 -70SomethingGuy

Great video Professor Reich✊️

Wow, this is excellent!

Great presentation! To continuously read and analyze history is a must, if we want to better understand what is actually going on around us, regardless of opinions and different points of view... Bravo, to both you and your Team!!!👏👏👏

Extraordinary! Thank You so much, Professor Reich! All Must See This! #AusterityIsMurder! #LearnMMT!

Thank you for this clear and concise video! I will watch it again, and again if necessary. I'm 73 and originally from San Francisco, and was 20 in 1970. I remember Kent State clearly, but not the hard hat riots. I voted for the first time in 1972 for McGovern (the voting age was 21 until 1971 or so), and have voted Democratic ever since. Back then there were liberal Republicans, like my dad, an upper class man from Ohio. By contrast, my mother was the socialist daughter of a Seattle Teamsters Union organizer. They met in SF after WWII. They could never have imagined Trump or anyone like him. I learned several new things from you today! Thanks again!✌

Thank you Robert ❤

Thanks Bob.

Very well done. My father warned against these very things when Reagan was elected. Although he was a veteran he wanted us out of Vietnam and strongly believed we should never have been there in the first place.

🙏 Thank you for your persistent optimism, Professor. 🙏

The U.S. is second to Canada for the G-7’s lowest inflation rate. The term "G-7" refers to the Group of Seven, which is an informal forum of seven of the world's major advanced economies. The G-7 member countries include: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, United Kingdom, and the United States.

Thank you! Professor Reich. I will share this podcast. 💙🧘🏼‍♂️

This has been the best history and economic lessons ever! Thank you, I thoroughly enjoyed your post today! Sharing ( of course!)

good one professor Reich!

Love this, thank you so much!

Thank you, Robert. Seems to me our country could greatly mitigate the pain we all perceive is coming soon, by teaching children, from an early age, our real history. Teach them to discern, question, argue, figure out what are the bad things we've handed them and which the good, the lasting and useful. Change education now. Kids love to learn, and the excitement that follows.

Thank you for the history lesson, Robert Reich. You are a great American.

There's not a word of this that doesn't desperately need to be repeatedly imprinted upon the mind of every last American who votes and cares more for their country and its people than they do for their own personal greed, discrimination, and lust. If there is only one single most important meaning of life, it's without a doubt leaving this world a better place than you found it, even if such comes at one's own expense. What a wonderful world we would live in if only everybody believed and lived by such a simple yet flawless philosophy. Robert Reich accomplishes this fundamental goal every time he opens his mouth within earshot of anyone who cares to listen and take his profoundly selfless American wisdom to heart. America will always be a better place for having had Robert Reich speak the plain truth to anyone willing to listen and act in good faith to help anyone who genuinely needs it. Thank you, Robert! We are all so grateful, and we are still listening. 👍🏼💖✊🏼💙🇺🇸🗽 Vote BLUE, America!

@JDPwatching REALIZE! THAT WE THE PEOPLE, HAVE THE INTERNET'S EDGE TO USE WITH SPREADING HISTORIC TRUTHS OF ROBERT REICH'S " MY ULTIMATE HISTORY CRASH COURSE" | ROBERT REICH

My dad, a lifelong Democrat, started his career in Commerce in the early 1980s, something I hadn't known until recently; all he would say about not working there long was that his conscience had been getting to him. I admire this, despite the fact that I might've enjoyed a different lifestyle had he stayed on. I wish more people would be willing to put aside potential enrichment of their own families when it comes at the expense of others'- the way Fred Trump, Jr. chose to be his own man, humble and true to his convictions. That's the kind of in-this-together mindset which enables human beings to build really great things which no one man could accomplish on his own. The spirit of sacrifice should be honored, not exploited. Donald Trump and his ilk are fools for devaluing and ridiculing virtue, and for using our own work ethic against us for so long.

This summarizes seminal moments during which corporatists & politicians incrementally built up American fascism. We're lucky that Prof. Reich dedicated many years to improving America, and now skillfully teaches us to do the same.

I learned so much from you, Robert Reich. Please do keep educating us I treasure every post you make, and you are correct. Those that forget the past are condemned to repeat it.

PAY "THIS" FORWARD BY SPREADING "MY ULTIMATE HISTORY CRASH COURSE| ROBERT REICH

Very interesting. Wasn't taught this in any of my school years 🤔

This was absolutely fascinating. I am Canadian, so to some extent I am ignorant to your political system although these last 20 years I have become quite engaged. At one time, I considered myself a centrist, but I have come to learn I am definitely Left of Centre. We are starting to see some of the American style politics happening in my country and particularly in my province. I’m grateful that I now have some information and arguments to combat the notion that rampant corporate greed is good for us. Hats off to you, sir for all of your good work and your commitment to public service! The world needs more of you.

Beautifully done and so much to the point! Bravo!

Everybody should watch this. Every college student should have to watch this as a prerequisite

Wonderful ! Thank you 👍💙

I started tapping the❤ icon repeatedly when I realized that someone might think I was saying I 💕 these actions. People know the difference between rights and wrong, I call it a conscience. It's when people know what you're saying is true but they twist it around to fit their own agenda and fuck things up that's PSYCHO.

Need to get this thing popping

Thanks, professor!

Sweet!

@@theboyisnotright6312 If you look carefully, you'll see the reason the "Democrats don't move it back" is because they CAN'T move it back. The pattern in the federal govt is that whenever the President is a Democrat, the voters give us a split Congress (as today -- the House is republican & the Senate is BARELY democratic). This means the "republican Congress" can stop Democrats from moving it back. Look at the do-nothing republican House of Representatives. It's been republican for 2 years, but has enacted basically NOTHING -- WHILE also blocking nearly everything the Democrats tried to do. Biden is amazing since even while they blocked, he got some Republicans to help him (like Speaker McCarthy, who was then ousted for helping Biden). Now we see Speaker Mike Johnson is again an obstructionist -- blocking everything the Democrats try to do. History shows us that the republicans stop democrats from moving it back. Problem is, not enough people know this, and many people still don't vote. Prof. Reich does these videos, to fix both problems.
