Corporate Sociopaths
Former labor secretary Robert Reich connects BP’s disaster in the Gulf of Mexico to other recent disasters, including April’s tragic explosion in Massey Energy’s West Virginia coal mine and the financial meltdown, involving Goldman Sachs. Reich says all three companies have violated the public trust to make profits, demonstrating that it’s time for a new era of federal regulation. In the case of BP, Reich argues for taking the company into temporary government receivership.
Robert Reich served in the Clinton White House. He is now professor of public policy at University of California, Berkeley.
