    Description

    Our guest is Robert Reich, former Secretary of Labor in the Clinton administration, and Professor of Public Policy at the University of California at Berkeley.  Contrary to what many politicians are saying, Reich believes that the global pandemic is a public health emergency - but not necessarily an economic crisis. And he believes that in order to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, we must halt the economy, and assist the poor.

    On March 23, 2020, Reich talked to filmmaker and activist Astra Taylor. Under shelter-in-place orders, the two spoke from their respective homes via video conference.
