Rob Reich | How I Write

Rob Reich, Associate Professor of Political Science and Director of the Ethics in Society Program at Stanford, discusses how he develops ideas for his writing, his writing style, the evolution of his writing strategies. Reich references his recent writing on the ethics of homeschooling and charitable giving. "How I Write" is a series of conversations with faculty and other advanced writers to explore the nuts and bolts, pleasures and pains, of all types of writing.
