I've really enjoyed this entire series from my new favorite rich guy David Rubenstein。 I will admit that this one is probably the weakest of the 3。 With that being said， it is still a wonderful collection of conversations with some incredibly thoughtful and intriguing people about very important American topics。 I hope he'll keep this effort up because these are conversations worth having and important topics that need to be addressed in our civil discourse。 I've really enjoyed this entire series from my new favorite rich guy David Rubenstein。 I will admit that this one is probably the weakest of the 3。 With that being said， it is still a wonderful collection of conversations with some incredibly thoughtful and intriguing people about very important American topics。 I hope he'll keep this effort up because these are conversations worth having and important topics that need to be addressed in our civil discourse。 。。。more
