From the California Gold Rush to the railroad boom to Silicon Valley, the promise of instant riches keeps convincing us that this time will be different. Nathaniel Philbrick, a bestselling author and National Book Award winner whose work explores the forces that shaped America, joins Ryan to talk about his new book, The Rush, and explore the unsettling parallels between the California Gold Rush and Silicon Valley. They also discuss how wealth becomes political power, the cost of progress, the lure of instant riches, and why we ignore history’s warnings.
