<3> The White House’s Unlikely Sacrifice
<4> In an era of unprecedented economic growth, one award-winning hedge fund manager is making a bold bet: the era of capital abundance is coming to an end, and capital scarcity is on the horizon. John Paulson, the billionaire investor behind Paulson & Co, has been vocal about his concerns regarding the current state of the global economy, and his predictions are being closely watched by investors and policymakers alike.
