What puts the book over the top though is that its author retains his humanity even after walking through the looking glass of official Washington. We experience, for instance, the angst of having to let his two sons and wife go back to the family home in Cambridge because he can't quite yet leave the struggle for such improvements as an increase in the minimum wage. Witness for example this comment about Newt Gingrich: "His office is adorned with figurines of dinosaurs, as you might find in the bedrooms of little boys who dream of one day being huge and powerful." . On the face of it, here's an improbable book: a memoir of four years as Secretary of Labor. Well, in this cas
Here is his sometimes hilarious, sometimes poignant chronicle of trying to put ideas and ideals into practice. And to the places across America where those who are the objects of this drama are simply trying to get by--assembly lines, sweatshops, union halls, the main streets of small towns and the tough streets of central cities.Locked in the Cabinet is an intimate odyssey involving a memorable cast--a friend who is elected President of the United States, only to discover the limits of power; Alan Greenspan, who is the most powerful man in America; and Newt Gingrich, who tries to be. Reich guides us to the pinnacles of power and pretension, as bills are passed or stalled, reputations built or destroyed, secrets leaked, numbers fudged, egos bruised, news stories spun, hypocrisies exposed, and good intentions occasionally derailed. With wit, passion, and dead-aim honesty, Reich writes of those in Washington who possess hard heads and soft hearts, and those with exactly the opposite attributes. Never has this world been revealed with such richness of evidence, humor, and warmhearted candor.. Locked in the Cabinet is a close-up view of the way things work, and often don't work, at the highest levels of government--and a uniquely personal account by the man whose ideas inspired and animated much of the Clinton campaign of 1992 and who became the cabinet officer in charge of helping ordinary Americans get better jobs. And it is also an odyssey for Reich's
"I have followed Robert Recih for years and consider his" according to Reed Mencke. I have followed Robert Recih for years and consider his ideas about the American Economy a pathway of wisdom. I read this book out of personal curiosity about his relationship to Bill and Hillary Clinton and how he felt about the Clinton presidency. The book provided all that and more. It is a seemingly frank perspective on the first four year;s of Bill Clinton (Reich left the cabinet for family reasons prior to the second term. Reich portr. Great stories from a great leader I'm not sure how Robert Reich got away with telling all these candid, intimate (and not always flattering) stories about his friends and associates in the Clinton administration's halls of power, but I'm glad he has. Very eye-opening. And funny. And the best stories are at his own expense. A man who wears his brilliance with great humility.. The Politics of Mud Wrestling Reich is absolutely brilliant and this book presents a good dollop of his wisdom. Few people in politics are driven by ideals anymore, which makes Reich's laser focus on improving economic inequity all the more laudable. And doomed. In fact, this book explains a whole lot about how & why Clinton's first term of office became such a disappointment. "B" (as Reich, a longtime FoB, calls him) was elected with a mandate, he was young and energet
