BILL MOYERS: This week on Moyers & Company…

ROBERT REICH: How do you constrain capitalism from doing

stupid things that are not in the public interest? You have a democracy that is sufficiently

well-functioning. That laws and rules limit what can be done. If the democracy is corrupted

itself by that capitalist excess, then the first thing you've got to do is get big money

BILL MOYERS: Welcome. Odds are you know of Robert Reich.

Perhaps as the public servant he was under three administrations – for his work as

President Clinton’s Secretary of Labor, “Time Magazine” called him one of the

best cabinet secretaries of the 20th century.

He’s written thirteen books, including his latest, “Beyond Outrage: What Has Gone Wrong

with Our Economy and Our Democracy, and How to Fix It.”

But you’re about to see professor Reich who teaches public policy at the University

of California, Berkeley, in a wholly new light: as the star of a dynamic, witty, and entertaining

new film to be released next week in theatres across the country. It’s called “Inequality

For All,’ and was directed by Jacob Kornbluth. Here’s the trailer:

ROBERT REICH in Inequality For All: Now the thing you want to know about this

Mini Cooper is it is small. We are in proportion, me and my car. My name is Robert Reich, I

was Secretary of Labor under Bill Clinton. Before that the Carter administration. Before

that I was a special aid to Abraham Lincoln. Of all developed nations the United States

has the most unequal distribution of income and we’re surging toward even greater inequality.

1928 and 2007 become the peak years for income concentration, it looks like a suspension

WOMAN in Inequality For All: Last year we made $36,000.

MAN in Inequality For All: Think I probably make $50,000 a year working

ROBERT REICH in Inequality For All: The middle class is struggling. People occasionally

say to me, “Now what nation does it better?” The answer is, the United States. In the decades

after World War II, the economy boomed but you had very low inequality.

BILL O’REILLY in Inequality For All: Do you know Robert Reich?

BILL O’REILLY in Inequality For All: He’s a communist.

ROBERT REICH in Inequality For All: When I was a kid, bigger boys would pick on

me. I think it changed my life. I had to protect people from the people who would beat them

up economically. Who is actually looking out for the American worker? The answer is, nobody.

If workers don’t have power, if they don’t have a voice, their wages and benefits start

eroding. We are losing equal opportunity in America. Any one of you who feels cynical

BILL MOYERS: That’s from "Inequality For All," starring

Robert Reich, who is with me now. Bob Reich, welcome.

BILL MOYERS: I think this film is a game-changer in this

discussion about inequality. But I am curious because you're encroaching on my turf. Why

ROBERT REICH: Well, it was Jake's idea. And he really is

the brains and the creative giant behind it. But I was easily persuadable because I've

ROBERT REICH: And television and so on. But there is something

about film. With which you can emotionally connect with people and open people's minds

and eyes and hearts. And on this issue of widening inequality there's so much confusion,

many people if they’re, you know, if they're rightwing, they want to blame the poor, if

they're leftwing they want to blame the rich.

There's a lot of blame going around. But people are not looking at the actual structure of

the economy as it's evolving. They're not looking at how we need to change the organization

of the economy, why we are the most unequal of all advanced societies and economies in

There is this popular misconception that the economy is kind of out there, it's kind of

natural forces that can't be changed. They're immutable. We all sort of work for this economy.

But in reality, the economy is a set of rules. There's no economy in the state of nature.

They’re rules. I mean, there are rules about property and liability and anti-trust and

bankruptcy and subsidies for certain things and taxes for certain things.

These rules really are the rules of the game. They determine economic outcomes. If we don't

like them, we can change the rules. I mean, if we had a democracy that was working as

a democracy should be working, we could adapt the rules so that, for example, the gains

of economic growth were more widely distributed without a sacrifice of efficiency or innovation.

BILL MOYERS: Those rules are difficult to explain in writing,

much less on film. And yet you and Kornbluth do very well at it. Let me play an excerpt

ROBERT REICH in Inequality for All: Of all developed nations today, the United

States has the most unequal distribution of income and wealth by far. And we're surging

towards even greater inequality. One way of looking at and measuring inequality is to

look at the earnings of people at the top versus the earnings of the typical worker

The typical male worker in 1978 was making around $48,000, adjusting for inflation, while

the average person in the top one percent earned $390,000. Now fast forward. By 2010,

the typical male worker earned even less than he did then. But at person the top got more

than twice as much as before. Today, the richest 400 Americans have more wealth than the bottom

150 million of us put together. Now think about it. Four hundred people have more wealth
