Remember how, in elementary school, we used to have “mock elections”? According to some pretty smart folks, we may just be doing that now as “grown ups.” (I’ll leave the definition of “grown up” to you after seeing the Black Friday frenzy.)
Robert Reich’s new book is Supercapitalism: The Transformation of Business, Democracy and Everyday Life.
This is what the pres candidates should be talking about. If we’re spinning our wheels trying to save our democratic system, let’s at least be honest about it.
See excellent review of this book at
but I’m not sure how it ties in with mock elections. Maybe you could expand on this?

I’m not sure precisely what you’re getting at here, other than a recommendation of Reich’s book. Ironically, someone recommended to me Tony Judt’s review of Supercapitalism as a takedown of the book, not a positive review at all.
I recommend this exchange between Robert Kuttner and Robert Reich on the pages of The American Prospect about their respective new books.
