Robert Reich speaks to the 1%

Here's a video of his presentation to the Aspen Institute. He starts by noting that economics didn't used to be a separate discipline, that heretofore it was described as political economy. Adam Smith considered himself a moral philosopher. And that is what he discusses, how our economy is about how we as a nation see what is good and decent, how we view each other and take care of each other. It is about our morals and values and not just about money divorced from such considerations.
