 SALON Features: Downsizing Robert Reich, page 2
Reich first broached the concept in the wake of AT&T's announcement in January that it was firing some 40,000 workers; IBM, Boeing, Sears, GM and many other blue-chip companies had previously executed similar cutbacks.
The problem, continued Reich, is that under the rules of the marketplace, AT&T "may have done exactly the right thing by its shareholders." If government wants companies to honor their social responsibilities, Reich added, it must give them an economic reason to do so.
Reich told me he hopes all these proposals will serve as "a departure point for a national debate about corporate citizenship," a debate similar to the one over the role of government that has occupied American politics the past 15 years.
