If any book can change a nation's thinking, it has to be this brilliant and perceptive work by one of the most tough-minded bearers of the torch of liberalism. This collection of ground-breaking essays ranges from an unsparing look at the paper prosperity of the Reagan years and sobering predictions of a new stock market crash to prescriptions for a practical liberalism for the 1990s. Reich not only champions a cause, but looks fairly and unblinkingly at the conservative opposition. He carefully examines the four "parables" conservatives have exploited to monopolize American politics--and what liberals must do to take it back.

CONTENTS

1. The Paper Economy

2. The Real Economy

3. Of Cold and Tepid Wars

4. The Road to Quayle

5. The Resurgent Liberal
