Lloyd Blankfein, longtime chairman of Goldman Sachs, joins DealBook founder Andrew Ross Sorkin for a conversation about his rags-to-riches story, culminating in his rise to the highest echelons of Wall Street — and his new memoir, Streetwise: Getting to and Through Goldman Sachs.
Lloyd Blankfein came to Wall Street as an outsider — growing up in notorious public housing projects of East New York, Brooklyn, he scrapped his way to college, worked his way through Harvard Law, and ended up as one of the most powerful men in US finance as the head of Goldman Sachs. How did his journey inform his leadership of one the country’s biggest financial institutions?
The US economy is in uncertain terrain. Blankfein’s new book Streetwise is an honest, sharp reckoning not only with his education — in finance, human nature, and the workings of the world — but a reckoning with the state of global finance and leadership. Taking the crucial lessons, he learned while guiding Goldman’s tiller during the 2008 global financial crisis, Blankfein shares the story of what he and the firm got right, what they got wrong, and how it applies to the ups and downs of the market today.
Don’t miss him in a frank conversation with Andrew Ross Sorkin about money, luck, the future of US economy, and the stewardship of a cause that is larger than oneself.
