About this Quote

This quote by Robert Reich speaks to the importance of ethical authority in worldwide relations. He suggests that moral authority is simply as important, if not more crucial, than military strength or technological weapons. Reich thinks that the United States is rapidly losing its ethical authority in the Arab world and beyond. This is likely due to the US's involvement in wars and other international conflicts, as well as its failure to maintain human rights and global law. Reich's quote functions as a reminder that moral authority is an effective tool in global relations and should not be ignored. It is necessary for the United States to keep its ethical authority in order to remain a reputable leader in the worldwide community.
