david: you did that for a number of years, then you joined the rockefeller organization.hen you were recruited to go to the ford foundation. darren: i went to ford as a vice president. ford was a much larger foundation. it's about three times the size of rockefeller. so it was a lateral move, but i had a bigger remit. david: so ford was looking for a new president and you were one of the candidates. and as i understand it, you went into the interview and said i'm going to change this completely if i get this job. i'm going to focus on social inequality and make everything dealing with social inequality our focus. his that right? darren: yeah, so what i said was the foundation have lost our focus and that we needed a single northstar for our work, which we did not have, and really never had. david: when you got the position, ford announced, guess what, we're going to focus solely on inequality and so forth. what did your recipients of your aid say? darren: part of it is stepping back and asking why do we focus on inequality. the reason i believed in equality was important

the rockefeller just it seemed to take forever. and and that was because not so much the the writing process, but the mental process you have to remember, you know, i was 14 years old. in the floor demonstration in miami in 1968 carrying my rockefeller sign. now in some ways that gave me away up. but in some ways that was real baggage. you had to work. i had to work my way through. the residual memory as a sort of uncritical admiration to something much much more rigorous much more critical and then you had to make sure you didn't go too far in the opposite extreme in the in the pursuit of quote objectivity in the pursuit of detachment in the pursuit of critical assessment becoming overly critical have you read? have you read a biography of every president? you know, i think i probably have the reason i ask you a question is can you tell when a historian is on a side? oh sure. we'll stop and think. it's not just that subject most nonfiction authors drawn to subjects that they're not only interested in. but in some sense are attract

there's hedge funds involved in this , in the creation of rockefeller capital so they obviously wanten i understand from people who are close to flemming that he is, this sets him up to be a ceo of some company, and who would buy this? well there's lots of talk about pnc bank, something that flemming could run, blackrock, he's very close to larry fink, he's done deals for him, the chairman of blackrock for many years and larry fink has not appointed a successor yet, i believe he's 65 years old, there's talk about morgan stanley always wanting to expand into wealth management, maybe there's a role there, david solemon is a couple years older than flemming but he's not looking to retire and then there's jamie dimon. jamie dimon says he's got five years left. he's, i think, 69. it wouldn't surprise me if he bought flemming's firm, they merged it in there, jamie becomes chairman, flemming becomes ceo or something along that line. by the way that's how jamie became ceo of jpmorgan. he was running bank one, jpmorgan chase bought bank one and the whole thing was predicated on jamie taking b

jimmy chang, chief investment officer at rockefeller, joins us now. at one point on the day this was a global selloff and it seems like everybody was rattled by what they thought the fed was going to do, whether it was purchase the geopolitical issues with ukraine and russia here. looking at the market sentiment here, are they generally positive longer-term about what's going to happen? jimmy: it's really more mixed behind the curve and that's what makes this cycle different from the last few. this is the first time in almost 30 years that the fed says they have found a tenable position. let's put numbers into perspective. starting out with three numbers, 100, 1 hundred 42, 165. the cumulative total returns of the s&p 500 index, the nasdaq and nasdaq 100 index over the last three years. we have had a phenomenal three consecutive years of double digit gains and it's par for the course to have pulled back the heightened cycle. if the fed has been so helpful driving a massive rally over the past three years, it's natural to expect some volatility. taylor

the constellation of people who are lucky enough to lead foundations like ford or lockey -- or rockefellerbut covid has absolutely impacted how we do our work both internationally and domestically. let's start with internationally. the reality of this moment is that we are seeing tremendous inequality. the ways in which vaccines are being distributed, the ways in which they are being manufactured, and the issues around cost, intellectual property, which are profound and having a tremendous negative impact especially for people in africa and much of the global south. in the united states, we know covid has meant that communities that are historically the most vulnerable are doubly impacted because of covid. what that has meant for philanthropy is we have had to double down in some ways and also recognize in the united states the covid movement has coincided with the george floyd racial reckoning moment. that has brought into stark relief the challenges for people of color. david: let's talk about the ford foundation. when covid came, you convince the ford foundation trustees and some others

and then at rockefeller. i did that, i chose to work on viruses because they were the simplest form of life, and i thought we could make advances that took advantage of the knowledge in the centrality of nucleic acid, and the structure which had been elucidated by watson in 53. and it was a good choice, because it was the only organism, if you can call a virus and organism, that you could begin to understand its fundamental nature. by the end of that decade in 1960s i realized that the only thing we had left to understand in virology was how a virus caused cancer. because the rest of it was going to happen. still happening, as we all know. and so i set out to understand rna containing tumor viruses, because rna was clearly the central layer in the transition, information from dna to rna. we really didn't understand how an rna virus could exist that could cause cancer, that could permanently change the way a sound grew. -- cell group. likely i found the path to shine the virus particle itself had an enzyme tha
