Bold Life Lessons From The Master Of Finance: Stephen Schwarzman - Part Two

First, Steve addresses impeachment, Israel’s election, Iran’s pain caused by financial sanctions, Brexit and what’s up with the Federal reserve pumping money into banks?  Then, in part two of this series, Blackstone Group Cofounder & CEO Stephen Schwarzman discusses the firm’s growth into a global behemoth including a paradigm-shifting investment deal made with China — the first time the country ever invested in a private company. The self-made billionaire also details the prescient call he almost didn’t make to the Treasury Secretary on the brink of the 2008 financial crisis. Also, hear about his philanthropic work through the Schwarzman Scholarship, akin to the Rhodes Scholarship, which brings an international cohort of students to Beijing. This is the final episode in a two-part conversation. Last, Steve’s “Read of the Week” consists of three articles: “Trump’s Fight With The ‘Globalists’” by Daniel Henninger, “Realities Of The Current Trade War” by Frank Hollenbeck and “The Limits Of Clean Energy” by Jason Hickel.
