Robert Reich Says America Will Have ‘A New Progressive Era Coming After this Second Gilded Age’

‘I am sure of it’

EXCERPT:

REICH: “And we have got to — one of the things we’ve got to do in this country, what makes me optimistic, is not only young people. I am optimistic because young people are committed to changing this, but I’m also optimistic because people now can see actually how important it is not only to have a democracy, but to have honesty, honesty and integrity.
(Cheering and Applause)
I mean, I really believe that, just like the turn of the last century we had the first gilded age, we are now in the second gilded age. That first one, what happened after the first gilded age, we had something that historians call the progressive era. We are now going to have a new progressive era coming after this second gilded age.
(Cheering and Applause)
I am sure of it.”
