In an uncertain world Book

With the snappy title, you'd think this was a much more interesting book. The sad reality is that Robert Rubin's biography does not live up in style, content or IQ level of the writer. Having obtained kingmaker status as CEO of Goldman Sachs, and treasurer of Bill Clinton, it's obvious that Robert has stories and strong opinions about events. At times he approaches topics with nuance like a good storyteller - one example is with the Tequila crisis in the 90s where he brings how Mexico's currency valuation can have a huge impact in the rest of the world. When he does start talking about economics, Robert can swing and hit pretty well. Maybe it's just his self-assured easy going personality, but the book could not be more empty. Reminds me of an aloof uncle telling his niece about his big suit job and those crazy highs and lows of the working world. Platitudes, general conflicts, and some farm wisdom.
