American Experiment
American Experiment dives into the heart of the American story through intimate conversations with its most influential figures. This non-fiction collection, drawn from The David Rubenstein Show on Bloomberg TV, invites curious adults and history enthusiasts to explore democracy, culture, and innovation with thoughtfulness, warmth, and a sense of possibility.
Structured as a dynamic series of conversations, American Experiment brings together leading voices to illuminate how America has become what it is today. Hosted by David Rubenstein, the book moves through themes—from immigration and civil rights to invention and the arts—through candid dialogues with scholars, diplomats, musicians, and athletes. Readers meet Jill Lepore, Madeleine Albright, Ken Burns, Henry Louis Gates Jr., Elaine Weiss, John Meacham, Walter Isaacson, David McCullough, John Barry, Wynton Marsalis, Billie Jean King, Rita Moreno, and more, each lending perspective without losing the warmth of human conversation. It is the capstone to a remarkable trilogy from the New York Times bestselling author known for How To Lead and The American Story.
Written with clear, accessible prose and a pace that feels like a thoughtful conversation, American Experiment weaves history with contemporary relevance. It presents key concepts about democracy, identity, resilience, and progress in a way that invites reflection rather than lecturing—turning big ideas into stories, lessons, and moments you can carry into your own discussions and daily life.
