This publication is a place for thoughtful discussion around writers’ work. Substack is also founded on the belief that writers and their work deserve respect.

We ask that writers keep conversations civil in the comments of this publication and other Substack spaces where we gather writers, such as events. That means respecting one other’s perspectives and life experiences in your conversations, and refraining from cruel or derogatory language. It is not a place for irrelevant rants or off-topic digressions.

As such we are disabling comments on this post. You can read more about our approach to the comments and community interactions in this publication here: https://on.substack.com/p/community-guidelines

These Community Guidelines only apply to spaces that we manage, like our company publications, events, and programs, and are completely separate and distinct from the Substack Content Guidelines, which outline what is and is not acceptable on the Substack platform as a whole as part of our hands-off approach to moderation that puts writers and readers in charge - https://on.substack.com/p/substacks-view-of-content-moderation.

WTF?

Do you plan on posting puff pieces on Bill Gates, Tony Fauci, Gavin Newsom and Justin Trudeau as well?

I’ve attended your Wealth and Poverty class twice and enjoyed it enormously. You make a difference by doing what you are doing. Thanks so so much for your service to our nation.

With all due respect to Mr Reich, he sounds out of touch with everyday reality outside of the colleges and universities . I am grateful for capitalism, I’m middle class and I would never say my life is anywhere near harsh, my goodness he should step outside of his bubble and rub elbows with us in the proletariat once in a while.

More like “suppressing the reveal key.” The fascism of which he speaks is not the fascism we are experiencing. Did he say a word about the censorship his party loves so much? This guy is dangerous, and lives in a fantasy world. His presence here is an insult to this great platform. How about, great writing tells the TRUTH? Doesn’t even cross his mind. And he’s a teacher!

Never heard of this guy. I see he’s pretty popular with the commenters, though.

This statement is interesting: “You periodically have these upsurges in hatefulness and bigotry.” People on both ends - and, frankly, the middle - of our political spectrum can look at that statement and think that it is referring to them.
