A review of Robert B. Reich’s book, The Work of Nations: Preparing Ourselves for 21st Century Capitalism.
This paper discusses and analyzes the book The Work of Nations: Preparing Ourselves for 21st Century Capitalism by Robert B. Reich, focusing on its value in today’s economy. The paper outlines the diversity of the ever-expanding global economy and explains that a country’s economy is no longer a national issue. The writer claims that although Reich’s book is somewhat outdated, it provides compelling and thought provoking information.
“The basic premise of this book is that we can no longer view our economy or business as a national concern, it is quickly becoming a global concern. “All that will remain rooted within national borders are the people who comprise a nation” (Reich 3). Reich calls this outdated form of looking at an economy as “economic nationalism,” and he instead promotes a view of global economy rather than nationalized economy.”
