Please join me and Heather Kinlaw Lofthouse for a live \u201cwatch-a-long\u201d of the first class of my course, right here on Substack at 4:30pm PT\/7:30pm ET. You can use this link to sign-up to receive an email when we go live \u2014 and the same link will work to watch the live come Monday.Trumpism \u2014 the authoritarian, anti-establishment, racist, and xenophobic movement launched seven years ago by Donald J. Trump \u2014 didn\u2019t come out of nowhere. Nor did the record-breaking inequality of wealth and income in America. My big 750-student undergraduate course \u201cWealth and Poverty\u201d course focuses on where Trumpism and inequality intersect \u2014 and why. And I\u2019m so pleased to be able to bring it you. Each Monday, you\u2019ll be in my actual class this Fall. You\u2019ll have my lectures and slides, along with my stories and (attempted) humor \u2014 and you\u2019ll see how my students respond to interactive quizzes, puzzles, and short role-playing scenarios. I\u2019m also posting an abbreviated syllabus so you can do the key readings, should you wish.The classes will be posted on Mondays, all the way through the 14 weeks of the course.Please join me, and please spread the word!I designed this course to give students \u2014 and now, you \u2014 a deeper understanding of why inequalities of income and wealth have widened significantly over the last 40 years in the United States, and their consequences. ***I\u2019m such a fan of Dolly Parton (may she rest in peace), that I usually started my class (as students filed into the lecture hall) with her spectacular \u201c9 to 5.\u201d Please do give it a listen to help you start this course with the appropriate energy.See you in class!ShareLeave a comment379 Likes\u221967 RestacksDiscussion about this videoRestacksRobert ReichAuthorsRobert ReichRecent PostsTrump\u2019s Phony $5,000 Bribe | The Coffee Klatch for Saturday, September 12, 2026Sep 12\u00a0\u2022\u00a0Robert Reich,\u00a0Heather Lofthouse,\u00a0and\u00a0Michael Lahanas-Calder\u00f3nThe Biggest Loser in the World | The Coffee Klatch for Saturday, September 5, 2026Sep 5\u00a0\u2022\u00a0Robert ReichTrump\u2019s War on Iran, Canada, and Us | The Coffee Klatch for August 29, 2026Aug 29\u00a0\u2022\u00a0Robert Reich\u00a0and\u00a0Heather LofthouseIn Conversation with Heather Cox RichardsonAug 25\u00a0\u2022\u00a0Robert Reich\u00a0and\u00a0Heather Cox RichardsonMy Feud with Trump\u2019s Brainless Treasury Secretary | The Coffee Klatch for Saturday, August 22, 2026Aug 22\u00a0\u2022\u00a0Robert ReichHow to Dump the Trump | The Coffee Klatch for Saturday, August 15, 2026Aug 15\u00a0\u2022\u00a0Robert ReichBig Money Loses | The Coffee Klatch for Saturday, August 8, 2026Aug 8\u00a0\u2022\u00a0Robert Reich\u00a0and\u00a0Heather LofthouseIt's Still The Economy, Stupid | The Coffee Klatch for Saturday, August 1, 2026Aug 1\u00a0\u2022\u00a0Robert Reich,\u00a0Michael Lahanas-Calder\u00f3n,\u00a0and\u00a0Inequality Media Civic Action",
