William D. Cohan, best-selling author, joins the show to talk about his new book about GE, "Power Failure: The Rise and Fall of an American Icon", the legacy of Jack Welch, and our endless fascination with the cult of the CEO. Plus, as the Debt Ceiling approaches, the U.S. Treasury is warning of a repeat of 2011 that could derail markets and deliver a serious blow to the country's precarious financial situation. And, risk is back on the menu as promiscuous investors hunt for yield in dangerous places.
