Show notes
Robert Reich, the former Secretary of Labor under Bill Clinton, is one of today’s leading voices addressing issues of income inequality. Reich served in three presidential administrations, and recently retired from teaching at UC Berkeley’s School of Public Policy after nearly 20 years. His classes were among the most popular on campus, and the end of his teaching career inspired the documentary “The Last Class”. Reich publishes extensively on social media and is the author of more than 20 books including his 2025 memoir, “Coming Up Short”.
On July 23, 2025, Reich spoke with Monika Bauerlein, the CEO of the Center for Investigative Reporting, a nonprofit multimedia news organization that houses Mother Jones magazine and the radio show and podcast Reveal.
