The guests on Uncommon Knowledge have become increasingly tied to current events (Shelby Steele on Barack Obama and race, Thomas Sowell on differences between conservatism and liberalism on the eve of the presidential election, etc.) and this week is no exception.
Peter Robinson's guest for this series is Peter Thiel. As I told you before Thanksgiving, he is a co-founder of PayPal and is now a hedgefund manager at Clarium Capital (formerly Thiel Capital). In 2008, he was #377 on the Forbes 400.
A few interesting factiods: Thiel is 40 years old, single and got his BA and JD from Stanford.
Here is a link to the book, The American Challenge, which is discussed in the series.
