American economist, professor and political commentator who shares analysis of economic inequality, the concentration of wealth and power, and the policies that shape both. He is a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, and previously served as Secretary of Labor in the federal government of the United States.

He co-founded Inequality Media, a nonprofit that uses storytelling and short videos to inform the public about how imbalances of economic and political power affect American life. Its work grew out of the documentary film Inequality for All, which he made with director Jacob Kornbluth. His commentary covers topics such as taxes, corporate influence on government, trickle-down economics, privatization and the role of money in politics, and it is aimed at a general audience rather than specialists.

He is a regular voice in debate and opinion about the American economy, publishing videos, short explainers and written pieces, and he has also written books on economics and politics.
