THE LAST CLASS
Former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich might be famous for his public service, best-selling
books, and viral social media posts, but he always considered teaching his true
calling. The Last Class captures a master educator wrestling with the
dual realities of his own aging and his students inheriting a world out of
balance. Reich confronts the impending finality with unflinching candor,
humor, introspection, and a rawness of emotion he has never shared publicly
before.
One thousand students fill the biggest lecture hall on
campus—the last class to receive Reich’s wisdom and exhortations not to accept
that society has to stay the way it is. His final assignment: Who will be the
teachers of tomorrow? (USA, 2025, 71
