The Daily Show has an interview with Robert Reich ion two parts.

Exclusive – Robert Reich Extended Interview Pt. 1

Exclusive – Robert Reich Extended Interview Pt. 2

In a previous post, Inequality for All: Robert Reich Warns Record Income Gap Is Undermining Our Democracy, you got to hear Robert Reich interviewed by a “serious” journalist. Comparing the two interviews you will see that both interviews were very good at eliciting different pieces of information. Each interview added to our store of knowledge.

I would have loved to have heard Robert Reich explain to Jon Stewart not only what was done to solve similar problems in the past, but explicitly how it was done then. What happened that allowed a political force to gain enough power to rein in the previous robber baron’s? Let us talk about that history.
