  Dear learners and the curious: I've come back to class #1 from the future - I'm on #6 - to encourage you.  This Wealth and Poverty Class series has changed my thinking. I've been alarmed, challenged, angered, informed, set free from false beliefs and encouraged to make changes in my life for the betterment of my family and fellow man. Keep learning and God bless everyone  here ❤

  For about a decade now I have been searching for my definition of a true &quot;dyed in the wool&quot; American Patriot, R. Reich. I often thought of him (my patriot) as embodying those things I have come to expect of from myself. Someone with a strong moral and ethical compass who is sensitive to what it takes to make my community, my neighbors, my country and , of course &nbsp;myself someone who thru his diligence in trying to understand the reality around them, inadvertently finds himself to be a benefit to society on the whole.<br>After viewing the first two of your course I am happy to announce that I have (after more than a decade of searching) &nbsp;today installed you, Bob, AMERICAS KING PATRIOT! No one I have ever heard of or read of (and I am QUITE the history buff) has ever answered his nations call and has been has courageous to STAND UP TALL to his nations call as you have.<br>Frankly speaking, Bob to Bob (my first name is Robert), I could NOT have said it better myself. Your first two classes brought tears to my eyes repeatedly. And I have only seen the first two classes!<br>I am sure history will record you in the same light I have. You are my &quot;one if by land, two if by SEE&quot; patriot!

  I like his style of presentation. Not only is he lecturing about ecnomics, he is also doing standup and being a gameshow host!

  I&apos;m newly retired (65) and am thrilled to, not only have found this channel, but to see/hear Robert Reich again! Loved him when he was in office and now we have his lectures! These lectures will certainly keep my aging brain cells firing on all cylinders!!!

  I love when professors share their lectures with the general public. I love learning new things and would be a permanent college student if I could afford it lol. It’s awesome that UC Berkeley has someone with so much life experience on their staff.

  Excellent, Robert. Thank you. We need you. I am Cuban-American and live in Miami. I feel terrified seeing the extreme right re-emerge. There is confusion in the minds of most Latinos regarding who they should vote for. The majority in my city, especially Cubans and Venezuelans, are being deceived by the media that speaks our language. They think that Biden supports the communism from which they escaped and that Trump will save them from this paycheck-to-paycheck life, with just a few hours to sleep that the majority get. Latinos in the United States urgently need to understand what the extreme right, the extreme left, and Democracy are. They have to know the dangers they expose us to if this new type of fascism, with Donald Trump as its leader, triumphs. Please, also try to reach out to Latinos. There is a lot of ignorance in our towns, which is why they are easy prey. Millions of Latino votes. We can save Democracy.
