Kennedy Jr. Forum. The three speakers cover environmental and technological challenges and consider ways in which public policy could address them. At the center of the conversation are two subjects: climate change and the advance of artificial intelligence. These topics intersect, since the data centers used for AI compute require large amounts of power, raising questions about how the growth of AI could impact carbon emissions and the clean energy transition. Rubin and his fellow panelists discuss the massive changes that both climate change and artificial intelligence stand to bring for the U.S. and global economies. Although the magnitude of these effects will continue to be debated, the discussion clarifies how both climate and AI will profoundly affect us. Rubin focuses on the need for government leaders to consider these issues with intellectual integrity to chart a sound course for the future. https://www.robertrubin.com/news-collection/why-have-business-leaders-gone-silent monthly 0.5 2026-01-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62fe0fca3cb8891b716a8ec1/64ccf25d-a701-4f75-a167-599f76984088/im-69150719.png News Collection - Why Have Business Leaders Gone Silent? - Make it stand out My advice to those new in government work is to approach the job with modesty.

We Know This Bill Is Dangerous. - Make it stand out In this New York Times article, Robert Rubin and Lawrence Summers argue that Donald Trump's fiscal approach risks reversing the economic success of the 1990s—the only time the federal budget was balanced in over half a century. While both presidents entered office facing serious fiscal challenges and technological transformation, their strategies couldn't be more different. Drawing on their experience as top members of President Bill Clinton’s economic team, Rubin and Summers note that the Clinton administration’s approach combined deficit reduction with investment stimulus, creating what they call a "virtuous cycle" of growth, lower interest rates, and more investment. Trump's current legislative package, they argue, threatens to put this cycle in reverse by undermining the Federal Reserve, imposing tariffs, and passing what they describe as a "budget-busting" tax bill that could push debt to 135% of GDP by 2035. Their warning comes as Congress considers legislation that Rubin and Summers urge lawmakers to reject. https://www.robertrubin.com/news-collection/the-limits-of-running-government-like-a-business monthly 0.5 2025-09-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62fe0fca3cb8891b716a8ec1/11471f90-d8fc-4345-93f5-ae891250df15/Robert_Rubin_testifies_to_the_Senate_Banking_Committee.jpg News Collection - The Limits of ‘Running Government Like a Business’ - Make it stand out My advice to those new in government work is to approach the job with modesty.

Rubin’s own path to engagement started unexpectedly with an invitation to join the American Ballet Theater board. This led to decades of involvement across politics, policy, and the arts. At 84, he's still learning—recently taking AI tutorials to stay current with technological developments. His central point: meaningful participation doesn't require expertise or formal positions, just curiosity and willingness to contribute. Opportunities to get involved in society—in policy, charity, politics, education, combatting poverty, and more—are available to everyone, Rubin writes. And American society will, he concludes, benefit enormously from this kind of active citizenship. https://www.robertrubin.com/news-collection/the-enormous-risks-a-second-trump-term-poses-to-our-economy monthly 0.5 2025-09-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62fe0fca3cb8891b716a8ec1/3f36a837-f3fa-4c29-8540-61ce975caa39/08rubin-image-superJumbo.jpeg News Collection - The Enormous Risks a Second Trump Term Poses to Our Economy - Make it stand out In this New York Times article, Robert Rubin and Kenneth Chenault write as two figures who have more than a century of combined experience in business, government, and policy. Drawing on their work with elected officials and business leaders across the ideological spectrum, Rubin and Chenault argue that a second presidential term for Donald Trump would pose enormous risks to the U.S. economy. They suggest that while many in finance and business seem to view Trump as essentially a normal Republican candidate on economic issues, this perspective fundamentally misreads both his track record and his stated second-term agenda. Rubin and Chenault systematically examine Trump's economic proposals through the lens of fiscal policy, trade, regulation, and institutional independence, painting a picture they believe should deeply concern anyone invested in economic stability. Focusing on concrete policy specifics, they conclude with a stark warning about the risks of assuming that surviving one Trump term guarantees surviving another. https://www.robertrubin.com/news-collection/higher-education-isnt-the-enemy monthly 0.5 2025-07-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62fe0fca3cb8891b716a8ec1/1749124421829-DUOCD1H5UU9RKHBCFVCO/Screenshot+2025-06-05+at+12.53.29%E2%80%AFPM.png News Collection - Higher Education Isn’t the Enemy - Make it stand out My advice to those new in government work is to approach the job with modesty.

Drawing on his roles as Director of the National Economic Council and Secretary of the Treasury, Rubin describes debates over the policy measures that would best reduce America’s deficits and national debt. As he recounts, the plan's success stemmed not only from sound economic policy but also from a unique political environment, when businesses and the public were concerned about fiscal responsibility, as typified by candidates Paul Tsongas and Ross Perot in the 1992 presidential campaign. Rubin also recounts the critical part of both tax and spending measures for deficit reduction. Drawing parallels to today's fiscal challenges, Rubin warns that current debt levels—now at 100% of GDP, the highest since the post-World War II era—pose even greater risks than those faced in 1993. He describes the troubling economic effects of this situation on interest rates and other areas, but notes the difficulty of deficit reduction in the current political environment. https://www.robertrubin.com/news-collection/the-soft-landing-could-easily-turn-hard monthly 0.5 2025-09-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62fe0fca3cb8891b716a8ec1/22d8e39d-6f4c-43dc-94af-4582389635d7/Robert+Rubin+Portrait.jpeg News Collection - Robert Rubin: The ‘Soft Landing’ Could Easily Turn Hard - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.robertrubin.com/news-collection/how-to-make-decisions-in-an-uncertain-world monthly 0.5 2025-06-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62fe0fca3cb8891b716a8ec1/5ae7f2b5-b845-4062-bf6e-4598f6eda28b/Screenshot+2024-11-19+at+9.15.22%E2%80%AFPM.png News Collection - How to make decisions in an uncertain world - Make it stand out Robert Rubin joins Michael Smerconish on CNN to discuss his latest book, "The Yellow Pad: Making Better Decisions in an Uncertain World," and the philosophical approach that has guided his approach to decision-making throughout his career on Wall Street, in the White House, and at the Treasury Department. The conversation explores a pivotal moment during Rubin’s sophomore year at Harvard, when a philosophy professor's observation that "nothing can be proven in an absolute sense" fundamentally shaped his worldview. This revelation led Rubin to develop what he calls a "probabilistic mindset”: the practice of identifying multiple possible outcomes, assessing their likelihood, and making decisions based on careful analysis rather than absolute certainties. Rubin describes how he has pursued this approach using his signature tool—a yellow legal pad—to systematically work through complex decisions. He emphasized how this methodology served him well, whether he was working in Goldman Sachs' arbitrage department or crafting economic policy in the Clinton White House. The discussion also touches on his "energetic curiosity," which at age 85 continues to drive him to explore new subjects like artificial intelligence, demonstrating the lifelong learning mindset that has characterized his approach to both personal and professional challenges. https://www.robertrubin.com/news-collection/robert-rubin-on-making-better-decisions-slfd9 monthly 0.5 2025-06-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62fe0fca3cb8891b716a8ec1/1703428766596-NF7FC47H97FDAH9OSR40/The+Yellow+Pad+Stack.png News Collection - Top Business Leaders Pick the Year’s 58 Must-Reads - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.robertrubin.com/news-collection/congress-can-help-make-housing-affordable-it-just-has-to-act monthly 0.5 2025-09-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62fe0fca3cb8891b716a8ec1/a29100f5-098a-46cd-a0ac-7fdac4b2eac5/Screenshot+2023-12-05+at+9.33.52+AM.png News Collection - Robert Rubin: Congress can help make housing affordable — it just has to act - Make it stand out Home sale signs are posted along Topanga Canyon road in Los Angeles on Oct. 19, 2023.
