I guess that's a way of looking at it. Ultimately, however, the human project is never about one generation of impact. Any "success" or "failure" of a person's impact is more nuanced than a binary, even if the binary framing can make for a compelling narrative.

Reich had significant successes to the point of actively slowing the trend of workers losing rights that plagued the 1970s and 80s.
