The New Gilded Age: Are We Repeating the Gold Rush? | Nathaniel Philbrick

Nathaniel Philbrick joins Ryan to discuss his new book 'The Rush' and draw unsettling parallels between the California Gold Rush and Silicon Valley. They explore themes of instant riches, the transformation of wealth into political power, and the often-ignored costs of progress. The conversation examines why we repeatedly ignore history's warnings and how the lure of sudden wealth distorts values and governance.
