I feel like the author said nothing of value. He threw some statistics around, and then ended with an idealistic call to action that proposed no actual solutions. He didn't say: here's three ways we can practically remember the old system, and here's 3 practical ways we can begin to achieve economic growth/stability in the 21st century. Over all, I feel like this was not a very useful article.
If you follow his blog you'll see he recently posted not three but twelve detailed steps for turning our nation's economic future back around with accompanying videos. We have a prescription for recovery, but we lack the political will to follow it. This post was a reminder of why we should find it again.

ah. well, my bad. I didn't bother reading anything else, but I should have investigated further. Thank you for the correction.
spaceghoti already said it well, but I just want to point out that Robert Reich is awesome. He is one of my favorite economists.
