In an Uncertain World
Tough Choices from Wall Street to Washington
About the book
Robert E. Rubin argues that nothing is provably certain, and that probabilistic thinking guided his career in business and in government. The account follows him from the arbitrage department at Goldman Sachs to his term as the 70th Treasury Secretary of the United States, which opened in January 1995 with an urgent session with President Bill Clinton about the financial crisis in Mexico. Rubin shows that approach at work during the federal government shutdown, the struggle over fiscal policy and financial crises in Asia, Russia and Brazil, in dealings with Alan Greenspan, Lawrence Summers, Newt Gingrich and Chinese premier Zhu Rongji. He later chaired the executive committee of Citigroup. Rubin wrote it with Jacob Weisberg.
Warren Buffett ranked Rubin among the best Treasury secretaries and said anyone interested in where politics and economics meet should read his account of those years.
