Reich earned a degree from Yale Law School, then studied economics as a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University, where he was a classmate and friend of one William Jefferson Clinton.
Reich held a series of positions in government and in academia and wrote six books, including The Work of Nations. He then served as Clinton’s first secretary of labor. In that position, he pursued an agenda based on the idea that the U.S. economy doesn’t depend so much on the competitiveness of American corporations as on the competitiveness of American workers. He left the cabinet in 1996, wrote about his experience in a less-than-flattering best-seller, Locked in the Cabinet, and took a teaching position at Brandeis University.
