Analysis Of The Film Inequality For All

The film I chose was Inequality for All. It’s a documentary about the declining wage-earning ability of the American middle class, as described through a series of lectures by Robert Reich, a former labor secretary under President Bill Clinton. It includes charts and graphs and at least one scene in which an economist points at a computer screen and talks about IRS tax data.

The first time Reich met Clinton was when he became terribly sea sick, during a Rhodes Scholarship cruise in 1968. He left the Clinton administration in 1996 because he felt like he was making no progress with him and he wanted to spend more time with his children. Since then, he became an economics professor at the University of California at Berkeley.

According to Reich, the country’s housing crisis, recession, and slow recovery—and even the political standoffs in Washington—can be traced back to 1978. This was the time that income inequality started to rise more and more. This was due to many factors such as the rise of globalization and shrinking union membership,

During 1978 Reich showed how the average male worker earned $48,000 when in 2010 they earned $33,000. The top one percent earned $390,00 rising to $1.1

During the film they interviewed a struggling Costco employee who makes $21.50 an hour and can barely afford to support her family. It also features Nick Hanauer, the very compassionate billionaire who witnesses that his feather pillow company relies on a middle-class customer base. “Even the richest people sleep on one or two pillows,” he says. It is nice to know that some of the wealthy understand that they need a strong middle class and there are some that know they don’t spend even close to what they make a year. They will put a lot of this money into a savings account. Most rich people are saving too much of their money that it’s not making the economy trickle down like it
