The System argues that the USA has become an oligarchy, run by and for the benefit of a tiny minority of the super-rich, with consequences that impact on the entire world.

Robert Reich is one of the most important voices in America,
fighting for an economy that works for all people and not just
those at the top. Understanding what is happening in our country is
critical if we want to fix it and Robert Reich is an exceptional
teacher.
*Senator Bernie Sanders*
Robert Reich is one our country's most insightful commentators on
politics and economics. Both a diagnosis and a call to arms, The
System shows how our economy and our democracy are rigged to work
for the wealthy and well-connected. Change is possible - if we are
willing to fight for it.
*Senator Elizabeth Warren*
In this book Robert Reich exposes the con job of America’s present
manic hyper-capitalism. He exposes a ‘system’ that is defined less
by free markets than by elite capture. He shatters the myths about
rising tides and boats and slices of pie and whatever else those
hackneyed people say, propelled by the insight that while money may
not be a zero-sum situation, power is.
*Anand Giridharadas, author of Winners Take All*
