Robert B. Reich is one of America’s foremost experts on jobs and the economy. He is also one of the world’s major advocates of reforms that spread the benefits of economic growth and strengthen democracy, through his work in three presidential administrations, his many bestselling books, his documentaries, Inequality for All and Saving Capitalism (a Netflix original), television commentaries, and videos. His latest best-seller, The System, explains how four decades of stagnant wages have contributed to a new populism on both the left and the right, which will require a fundamental restructuring of our economy and democracy. His 2018 best-seller, The Common Good, is a passionate, clear-eyed manifesto on why we must restore the idea of the common good to the center of our economics and politics.
A sought-after speaker for his expertise on global and domestic economics as well as for his ability to present complex issues with warmth and urgency, Reich has spoken at major lecture series, conferences, and college campuses across the country and around the world. He is a frequent contributor to CNN and MSNBC, a columnist for Newsweek and the Guardian, and his writing has appeared in The Atlantic, The New Yorker, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal.
Reich has served in three presidential administrations, including Secretary of Labor under President Bill Clinton, for which TIME magazine named him one of the ten most effective cabinet secretaries of the 20th century. Reich is the Chancellor’s Professor of Public Policy at the University of California, Berkeley.
In 2013, Reich co-created (with Jacob Kornbluth) the award-winning documentary Inequality for All, a sobering look at economic inequality, and in 2017, his second documentary, based on his book of the same name, Saving Capitalism, became a Netflix original.
He co-founded Inequality Media, an online video channel dedicated to raising awareness of economic inequality. To date, Reich’s videos on economics and politics have been viewed by over 90 million people around the world.
