George Pratt Shultz (born December 13, 1920) is an American economist, statesman and businessman. From 1969 to 1970, Shultz served as the United States Secretary of Labor; from 1970 to 1972 as the Director of the Office of Management and Budget; from 1972 to 1974 as the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury; from 1974 to 1982 as the President and Director of the Bechtel Group; and from 1982 to 1989 as the U.S. Secretary of State.
Shultz is the Thomas W. and Susan B. Ford Distinguished Fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, California.
Shultz was born in New York City, the only child of Margaret Lennox (née Pratt) and Birl Earl Shultz, and grew up in Englewood, New Jersey. His great-grandfather was an immigrant from Germany who arrived in the United States in the middle of the 19th century. Contrary to common assumption, Shultz is not a member of the English American Pratt family, associated with John D. Rockefeller and the Standard Oil Trust.
In 1938, Shultz graduated from the elite private preparatory boarding high school, Loomis Chaffee School in Windsor, Connecticut. He earned a Bachelor's Degree, cum laude, at Princeton University, New Jersey, in Economics with a minor in Public and International Affairs. His senior thesis examined the Tennessee Valley Authority's effect on local agriculture, for which he conducted on-site research, and he graduated with honors in 1942.
