Robert Reich: "Saving Capitalism: For the Many, Not the Few"
The way we take back our economy and democracy is through a movement that unites most of the bottom 99 percent to (1) resurrect Glass-Steagall and bust up ...
All you did for the first minute was describe capitalism, so why would we
(the viewer) want to save it? The solutions you propose, bringing a
democratic principle to the economic process and such, (which I entirely
agree with) pretty much just describes socialism. I think you're more
attached to the WORD capitalism than the actual economic system.
It would be like saying, " Hey, I love monarchy, (to which capitalism is
essentially the same thing in the economic spectrum) if it weren't for the
immense, absolute power that the king holds over the common people. We
need to have a monarchy run by and for the peasants!" Sure, constitutional
monarchy was a step forward, but you're still leaving an easy foot in the
door for any former absolute monarch to take back what you already rebelled
against. It happened to England multiple times throughout history.
We don't need to save capitalism. No, we just need to not obsess over
letters and words and realize that real change will only happen when we
abandon the notion that capitalism is an everlasting system that is the
end-all be-all of human economic evolutionary progress. It doesn't matter
if you agree with my solution for capitalism or not, it simply matters that
you acknowledge that SOMETHING else will eventually come along and replace
it. If you can do that, then you're on your way to being a part of the
future, and not a roadblock protecting the past or present.
I agree with you and would add we can not save what we never had. We need to stop believing the lies we have been told by the media and government, and start to learn the truth about America.

I was lucky enough to be present at this interview (behind the camera) and
I just want to say: what a lovely guy Brian Cox is...there are no airs or
graces about him, he's a really down-to-earth family guy who just happens
to be an extremely clever bloke (with a successful pop career!) Can't wait
for his new TV series to be screened, when Brian's presenting, I seem to
learn so much more! He should run for Prime Minister - the world would be
such a better place!
So, I understood that film WONDER OF LIFE is ready yeat... I so wated to
ask some questions related to scenario... DEAR PROF BRIAN COX, please,
always annonce the next plans! WE LOVE U!
