Stephen Herzenberg has been Executive Director of the Keystone Research Center (KRC) since the organization began operating in 1996. While British, he prefers red wine (cabernet) to stout. His first love was the game of cricket, but he is not personally as dull as the game is mistakenly purported to be. He holds a Ph.D. in Economics from MIT. Before joining KRC, Steve worked at the U.S. Congressional Office of Technology Assessment and the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL). At USDOL, he served as assistant to the chief negotiator of the labor side agreement to the North American Free Trade Agreement, but claims he is not to blame for the weak side agreement or NAFTA itself. His publications include "Losing Ground in Early Childhood Education," 2005; New Rules for a New Economy: Employment and Opportunity in Postindustrial America, Cornell/ILR press, 1998; and "U.S.-Mexico Trade: Pulling Together or Pulling Apart?," Office of Technology Assessment, September 1992.
