How to Lead
Economic Forecast for 2021
Byron Wien, Vice Chairman of Blackstone and Joe Zidle, Managing Director and the Chief Investment Strategist at Blackstone come together for an unprecedented conversation on the economy. Join us with these legends of the industry, experts of Wall Street and icons in the economic world for a special forecast on the economy and the markets given the many unusual factors - Covid, a new Administration and the continued political divide, raging unemployment, etc. What are we likely to see in the next few months and what can we hope for?
Should the People Pick Our President?
Author and member of The New York Times editorial board, Jesse Wegman and famed commentator from The New Yorker Rick Hertzberg joined us to discuss the popular vote versus the Electoral College in presidential elections. In two of the last six presidential elections, the candidate with fewer national votes won the presidency. If we stay the course is a crisis of legitimacy inevitable? What are the viable alternatives?
The Presidential Pardon
Former US Attorney, Joyce Vance, brilliant legal mind and MSNBC contributor, and Harvard Law professor and contributor to The New Yorker, Jeannie Suk Gersen will dissect the presidential pardon for us -its use and misuse. Time to reform this singular privilege? This is top of mind for President Trump and should be for you too.
The White Working-Class Political Revolution
Author David Paul Kuhn and former Virginia Senator Jim Webb examined the drift of the white working-class voter from the Democratic party to the Republican party and the enormous impact it has had on U.S. politics. Together, they’ll help explain what drove these voters, and how that schism continues to exacerbate class conflict and political polarization today. In light of the most recent election, this will surely be a timely and essential conversation. The conversation was moderated by the brilliant journalist Clyde Haberman.
