The Last Class

Overview

After four decades of teaching, American political economist, professor, author, and social media star Robert Reich delivers his farewell "Wealth and Poverty" lecture to 1,000 students at UC Berkeley—the final class in a career that has reached 40,000 learners. They pack the campus's largest lecture hall, the last group to hear Reich's insights and his urging not to resign themselves to the world as it is. His faith in the next generation's capacity to carry on the struggle is deeply inspiring.
