"A Great Teacher Inspires Hope"
Portrait of Robert Reich, one of America's most prominent intellectuals. He reflects on the current period of immense change. His life's work was largely dedicated to economic inequality, but his great love is education and teaching. And in this, he proves himself once again during this final lesson. He offers insights into the reasons why income and wealth inequality has increased significantly since the late 1970s and why this poses dangerous risks to our society. Reich is candid about his own aging and at the same time inspiring in his belief that the next generation can fight for a better world.
