  • Welcome to Intelligence Squared, where great minds meet.

  • I'm Head of Programming, Conor Boyle.

  • Today's episode is with businessman and philanthropist, Robert Rosenkranz.

  • Rosenkranz joined us to discuss the themes of his new book,

  • The Stoic Capitalist, in conversation with fellow businessman and author, Bill Browder.

  • Let's join Bill now with more.

  • Hello, I'm Bill Browder.

  • I am here to interview for Intelligence Squared Robert Rosenkranz, my friend,

  • and we're here to talk about his book, The Stoic Capitalist.

  • This is a great book.

  • I've read it twice.

  • In fact, I had a chance to read it in process,

  • and I had then a chance to read it as it was polished up.

  • And I would say that this book is kind of like a Rorschach test in that Each person who reads it sees a different book.

  • On one hand, this book is about sort of a how-to book, how to become successful.

  • On another hand, it's a book about sort of philosophy of life.

  • On the other hand, it's a book about all different subjects and Robert's view on the world.

  • And so I wanted to delve into all these things.

  • But to start out with, I want to just define for the audience.

  • who you are.
