Title: Slim, overpriced book with tired, predictable ideas
Review: I enjoy watching Robert Reich spar with Steve Moore on CNBC's Kudlow & Company. Although I typically agree with Kudlow, Reich's perspective offers balance to the sometimes overly exuberant Kudlow/Moore supply-side axis. Robert Reich is a fairly sensible leftist - he was an architect of NAFTA after all - and some of his ideas are interesting (abolishing corporate income tax, establishing wage insurance for those displaced by globalization), but you will not find them in this book. I'LL BE SHORT is a glorified pamphlet for Reich's failed bid for the Massachusetts governorship, and it is stocked with standard, boring, and predictable left-liberal policies. Reich is credited for being the first major candidate for any office to advocate gay marriage equality, and for that he should be credited. But in retrospect, nothing in this book is visionary; it is a boring read, thin, and ultimately not worth your $10.
