• Fareed Zakaria: “This week's "Book of the Week" is by today's guest, Robert Reich. "Aftershock" looks at what Reich says are the underlying causes of the economic crisis and he has solutions for fixing it. Now, if you like what he had to say earlier or if you disagreed with him completely, I still think you'll find the book stimulating in any event. He writes with clarity and passion about big economic problems.”
