Robert Reich: What Happened on My Tour Through Red State America

The best way to learn is to talk with people who disagree with you.

By Robert Reich / RobertReich.org

I’ve just returned from three weeks in “red” America. It was ostensibly a book tour but I wanted to talk with conservative Republicans and Tea Partiers.

I intended to put into practice what I tell my students – that the best way to learn is to talk with people who disagree with you. I wanted to learn from red America, and hoped they’d also learn a bit from me (and perhaps also buy my book).
