Synopsis
Acknowledging that robust business practices have produced unprecedented profits for companies, and wealth for some in American society, the esteemed political economist Robert Reich, who is not anti-business, points out how many sectors in American society have been put out of balance. Things need to be set right, says Reich, before the situation worsens.
As businesses pour greater sums of money into politics, hoping for influence, says Reich, democracy has taken a hit. Reich's solution is to pass legislation that will take money out of politics, and give business little or no voice in government. Reich's perceptive analysis, along with his provocative prescription, are presented with the intention of restoring democracy and affluence across American society.

Industry Reviews
"SUPERCAPITALISM is a grand debunking of the conventional wisdom in the style of John Kenneth Galbraith....Indeed, the main thrust of Reich's argument is right on target."
(10/21/2007)
"[A] compelling and important analysis....Provocatively argued, this book could help begin a necessary national conversation."
