CALGARY, Alberta, May 03, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Robert Reich will be in Calgary this Friday to speak to nearly 1,000 Albertans about inequality, capitalism, and economics, exposing the failures of right-wing policies both in America and across the globe while the United Conservative Party debates this same suite of right-wing policies in Red Deer.
Drawing on his experience as Secretary of State for the Clinton administration, Reich has become one of the world’s leading thinkers about work and the economy. Now Chancellor’s professor of Public Policy at the University of California at Berkeley, he served three US national administrations before serving on Obama’s economic transition advisory board. In 2008, TIME magazine named him one of the ten most successful cabinet secretaries of the past century.
Reich is the author of numerous books including The Work of Nations, which has been translated into 22 languages, and several other national best sellers, and has worked with Netflix on a new feature documentary. Reich is also a popular social media personality with millions of followers of Facebook and Twitter.
Reich will be available to media prior to his speaking engagement in Calgary.
