You are too kind to Robert Reich. Having been aware of his professional existence since he was Bill Clinton’s Secretary of Labor, he has always left me thinking he is a Keynesian shill, and a dogmatic leftist apparatchik. Then again, I hold most economists in generally low regard.
Exactly- Reich is a professional hack. No rational person could say the ‘Biden’ economy was good or successful. He’s like Paul Krugman - who said yesterday we were not actually in a recession, but it’s looking pre-recessionary. Seriously a hack.
Research Expertise and Interest - economic inequality, industrial policy, macroeconomic policy, public management and leadership. (I chuckled reading 'economic inequality')
In 2008, Time Magazine named him one of the ten most successful cabinet secretaries of the century. He received his B.A. from Dartmouth College, his M.A. from Oxford University where he was a Rhodes Scholar, and his J.D. from Yale Law School. Professor Reich is co-founding editor of The American Prospect magazine, co-founder of the Economic Policy Institute, and co-founder of Inequality Media.
Now you can question his mental faculties and decide if he's out-of-touch with the current economic situation and is just an ivory tower academic. (Ivory Tower - used to designate an environment of intellectual pursuit disconnected from the practical concerns of everyday life.

I guess Robert Reich doesn’t personally buy bread or ground beef because those basics have become obscenely priced.

I like the article but Reich is a lawyer, not an economist. He does not have a PhD.
