Daniel Markovits

Daniel Markovits (born August 4, 1969) is the Guido Calabresi Professor of Law at the Yale Law School.[1]

Markovits was educated at Yale University, the London School of Economics, the University of Oxford and the Yale Law School.

He delivered the 2015 commencement speech at the Yale Law School, in which he argued that “meritocracy now constitutes a modern-day aristocracy, one might even say, purpose-built for a world in which the greatest source of wealth is not land or factories but human capital, the free labor of skilled workers.”[2]
