On this edition of Your Call, former labor secretary Robert Reich discusses the midterms, the state of the economy, the future of the Democratic Party, and his memoir, Coming Up Short: A Memoir of My America.
After nearly 50 years in politics, he writes, “My generation of Baby Boomers failed to stop the bullies. I examine what went wrong — and what our children can do to build a better America.”
