Guest: Dan Yergin

We have been intrigued by some of the news coming out of the World Economic Forum (i.e. Davos) and have been on the lookout for someone who could give us an objective, independent summary and assessment of the gathering.

It was our honor today to welcome back our good friend Dr. Dan Yergin, Vice Chairman of S&P Global and Chairman of CERAWeek. Dan is the Pulitzer Prize winning author of “The Prize” and is a highly esteemed and revered voice in the energy space.

On this special “Twosday,” we had the fortune of welcoming back two special guests for a discussion centered on Russia and the Ukraine and all the potential reverberations from the current conflict. Our first guest is Dr. Angela Stent, Senior Fellow at Brookings and one of the world’s leading specialists on the Former Soviet Union, Russia, and Russia’s relations with the West. In our discussion, we reference her most recent book, “Putin’s World: Russia Against the West and With the Rest.” Our second guest is our longtime friend, Dr. Dan Yergin, Vice Chairman at IHS Markit and Chairman of CERAWeek. Dan is the author of a number of seminal books on energy and in our discussion we also touch on Dan’s latest book, “The New Map.”

Welcome back to another edition of Close of Business Tuesday. Today, we had the great honor of welcoming Dan Yergin as a special guest to the show. While Dan certainly needs little introduction, he is the Vice Chairman of IHS Markit, founder of CERA, and a highly esteemed and revered voice in the energy space….
