I've responded to a few posts about Reich recently. He's lost whatever credibility he had left with me. His recent postings since leaving Berkeley, and the run up to it, have seemed ruderless and not well argued or articulated.

Whatever the reasons, I find he's out of touch with reality. Yes, his messaging on wealth inequality and exploitation are sound. But he's still playing checkers when the world has moved onto chess.
