Reich, who received his B.A. from Dartmouth and J.D. from Yale, was a Rhodes Scholar. He has served in three national administrations, most recently as Secretary of Labor under President Bill Clinton. He has written eleven books, including The Work of Nations, which has been translated into 22 languages; the best-sellers The Future of Success and Locked in the Cabinet; and his most recent book, Supercapitalism. Mr. Reich is co-founding editor of The American Prospect magazine. His commentaries can be heard weekly on public radio's Marketplace
Critics have given rave reviews to his books. In the May 11, 1997 San Francisco Chronicle, Daniel Wick says, "At long last, a cabinet member with a sense of humor. Whether or not one agrees with Reich's politics, Locked in the Cabinet is a superb political memoir, entertainingly insightful and painfully honest." Of Supercapitalism, the News & Observer says, "Smart and provocative . . . Reich's proposed responses to supercapitalism are at once bold and surprising; [he] challenges us to think deeply about political economy."
