Bread and Politics

The Brian Lehrer Show | Mar 31, 2010

Our two chief exports – democracy and business – are often thought of as the two greatest social forces in shaping our national identity. Robert Reich, the former secretary of labor under Bill Clinton, joins us to talk about the economics of U.S. politics and breaks down the presidential field. Plus: a new investigative book examining the 9/11 commission; talking about God; and the nuances of homemade bread.
