The James Altucher Show

What's really going on in the world economy? James Altucher turns to David Rubenstein—manager of the Carlyle Group, one of the world's most significant private equity funds—for answers. With half a trillion dollars in investments and a deep involvement in the global economy since the '70s, David offers unparalleled insights into pressing questions like the future of the U.S. dollar, oil markets, and potential recessions. The conversation doesn't just skim the surface; it dives deep into the mechanics of financial systems, interest rates, and unemployment figures. Whether you're an investor, an entrepreneur, or someone simply trying to understand the economic maze, this episode promises a comprehensive look at where things stand and where they might be headed.------------What do YOU think of the show?
