Summary of Robert B. Reich's The Common Good

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The story of Martin Shkreli is a prime example of how not to make money. He started his own hedge fund, betting that the stock prices of certain biotech companies would drop. But instead of using his knowledge to help people, he used it to help himself and his investors make money.

#2 Martin Shkreli is a good example of how people who don’t follow the norms of society still manage to succeed. He is smart and driven, but he also believes that the laws don’t apply to him.

#3 The idea of the common good was once widely accepted in America. But today, many people are selfish and only care about themselves.

#4 The common good is no longer a fashionable idea. It is rarely uttered today, not even by commencement speakers and politicians. It feels slightly corny and antiquated.
