Summary

Is America still as great as it once was? And how the modern technologies have changed the county's development and politics? In this episode, I am joined by David Rubenstein, former government official, and lawyer, who is a co-founder and co-executive chairman of the private equity firm The Carlyle Group, author, to talk about his new book, The American Experiment: Dialogues on a Dream. In this part 2 (of 2), we talked about why people lost trust in the government(s), what are his prediction for the future for America, capitalism, why did he not invest in Amazon in the early days, and what other investments has he passed on! My new book Skip The Line is out! Make sure you get a copy wherever you get your new book! Join You Should Run For President 2.0 Facebook Group, and we discuss why should run for president. I write about all my podcasts! Check out the full post and learn what I learned at jamesaltucher.com/podcast. Thanks so much for listening!
