    The Outlier: The Unfinished Presidency of Jimmy Carter

    The complex legacy of Jimmy Carter’s one-term presidency remains poorly understood by the American public.

Author Kai Bird sits down with David Rubenstein to examine the triumphs and challenges of the Carter admi...

    The Woman's Hour: The Great Fight to Win the Vote

Author and journalist Elaine Weiss talks with David Rubenstein about the struggles of the suffragists against misogynistic politics, members of the church, and even other women in that fateful month w...

While his historic decision not to seek reelection may prove decisive in the 2024 presidential race, his term as president offers a fascinating picture of his political career and the Democratic party. In conversation with David Rubenstei...

    One Nation Under God: A History of Religion in America

    Enshrined in our Constitution and etched into our currency, religion is inextricable from the fabric of American political and social life. The ubiquity of religion in our national history has also made it an elusive, at times contradictory, force in this country’s growth—one that is associated with freedom and tolerance as often as it is with censure and control. Catherine Brekus, professor of American religious history at Harvard Divinity School, joins David Rubenstein to discuss the comple...

    Under the Dome: Politics, Crisis, and Architecture at the United States Capitol

    The US Capitol building is a powerful physical symbol of representative democracy, with its famous dome one of America’s most iconic architectural feats. The solidity and dependability of that symbol, however, belie the dynamic history of the ever-changing building itself. Alan Hantman, architect of the Capitol from 1997 to 2007, joins David M. Rubenstein to provide a personal account of the inner workings of the Capitol, shedding light on who runs the building, how and why it changes over ti...
