From the Back Cover:
-- "Robert Reich's agenda remains...a vigorous and welcome redefinition of modern liberalism. He seeks nothing less than a redefinition of our national myths in ways which make sense in the current world. The reigning myths of the Reagan era lie in shambles after his searching probe" -- Commonweal
-- "Mr. Reich's work is more than a broadside against liberal fiddlers. It is also a bold attempt to understand the basic cultural myths that determine how policy makers weave their individual programs into a 'story' that resonates with voters"

-- Wall Street Journal
-- "Reich's analysis, driven by the specific sources of our competitive disadvantage relative to the Japanese, is quite original....Reich's imagery is frighteningly on the mark. He asks us, correctly, I think, to consider a new intellectual and emotional framework for everything from interpersonal to economic to security dealings....His shift of the debate beyond quick-fix management devices and annual policy choices is path-breaking" -- Washington Monthly
-- "An elegantly written exposition and critique of contemporary American political mythology and a fervent plea for a new one" -- Village Voice
-- "His insights...are critically relevant to the debate over competitiveness. Reich's diagnosis is compelling" -- Business Week
-- "Searching, literate and intelligent ... I recommend this book to everyone interested in the ideas that shape our country's political life." -- Mario Cuomo
