Hi, this is Zachary Karabell. In addition to being the co-founder of the Progress Network (home to media luminaries Adam Grant and Krista Tippett), I’m the co-host of the acclaimed news podcast “What Could Go Right,” which provides a weekly dose of optimistic ideas from smart people (with guests like Harvard professor Arthur C. Brooks and economist Tyler Cowen).

I’m here to answer your questions on the economy, bipartisanship, and whether we’re all on the brink of disaster or on the cusp of a better world (as you can imagine, my thoughts lean more so towards the latter).

A little about me:

  • I’ve authored more than a dozen books on U.S. and global history, economics, and politics including Inside Money: Brown Brothers Harriman and the American Way of Power and The Last Campaign: How Harry Truman Won the 1948 Election (which won the Chicago Tribune Heartland Award for best non-fiction book of the year in 2000). My work has been reviewed widely by publications like the LA Times (“provocative”) and The New York Times (“gifted and fascinating”).
  • I’ve written a thousand articles on a range of topics including investing, the U.S. economy, tech in business, and the unavoidable Donald Trump. You can find my contributions and op-eds across a variety of media outlets, including MSNBC, The Atlantic, The Washington Post, The New Yorker, and most recently in The Wall Street Journal and TIME.
  • In 2003, the World Economic Forum designated me a “Global Leader for Tomorrow.”
  • I’m President of River Twice Capital. Previously, I was Head of Global Strategies at Envestnet. Prior to that, I was Executive Vice President, Chief Economist, and Head of Marketing at Fred Alger Management, a New York-based investment firm. I was also President of Fred Alger & Company and Portfolio Manager of the China-U.S. Growth Fund. In addition, I founded and ran the River Twice Fund from 2011-2013, an alternative investment fund which used sustainable business as its primary investment theme.

And you can listen to What Could Go Right?, available every Wednesday wherever you get your podcasts.
