Episode Details

Andrew Ross Sorkin joins The Rundown to break down the lessons of his new book 1929, and what the most devastating market crash over the last century tells us about the current AI economy. We talk power shifts between Wall Street, Washington, and billionaires — from the 1920s to today — and why there is no amount of 'F You Money' that can over-power President Trump's influence. Sorkin explains why Fed independence matters, how political pressure warped decisions in 1929, and what today’s bond market may be quietly signaling. Plus, a sharp debate on speculation, prediction markets, AI hype, and why the Dow remains relevant.
