Coming Up Short: A Conversation with Robert Reich and Michael Lewis

Join renowned political economist and former U.S. Secretary of Labor Robert Reich for a timely in-person conversation on the state of American democracy, featuring celebrated journalist Michael Lewis. Drawing from Reich’s new memoir, Coming Up Short—a deeply personal reflection on his life and career—and Lewis’s latest edited volume Who Is Government?, the discussion will explore the cultural, political, and economic forces that have brought our democratic institutions to a critical crossroads. Together, Reich and Lewis will examine not only how we got here, but also what it will take to build a government that truly serves the people.
