New ‘5 Questions for” series on Big Think

I’ve started a “5 Questions for” interview series with book authors over on Big Think.  The first two are with Steve Weinberg, on his recently published dual biography of Ida Tarbell and John D. Rockefeller, “Taking on the Trust;” and Mohamed El-Erian, co-CEO and co-Chief investment officer of PIMCO, on his prescient investment book, “When Markets Collide.”

E-mail interviews aren’t my favorite — they don’t allow for the same opportunities to clarify thoughts as a live interview.  But they are quick to do, which means muckety-mucks who can type are willing to try them.
