SUMMARY:Distinguished Speaker Series presents Andrew Ross Sorkin
DESCRIPTION:Andrew Ross Sorkin\n\n\nAward-winning & Bestselling Author | Journalist \n\n\n“Inside the Story of 1929 – Writing Through the Wreckage of the American Dream” \nFree tickets available for graduate students (TBA) through the UB Ticket Office.  1 per UB ID. \nPublic Ticket Information \n\nFri.\, Oct. 2\, 2026 at 7:00 p.m.\nCenter for the Arts\nUB North Campus \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore About Andrew Ross Sorkin\n\n\nAndrew Ross Sorkin is an award-winning journalist for The New York Times and a co-anchor of “Squawk Box\,” CNBC’s signature morning program. He is also the founder and editor-at-large of DealBook\, an online daily financial report published by The New York Times that he started in 2001.\n‍\nHe is the author of “1929: The Inside Story of the Greatest Crash in Wall Street History–and How It Shattered a Nation\,” the instant New York Times bestseller praised as a “vivid and forensic account . . . a real eye-opener” (Financial Times). With unparalleled access to historical records and newly uncovered documents\, Sorkin’s book takes readers inside the chaos of the crash\, behind the scenes of a raging battle between Wall Street and Washington and the larger-than-life characters whose ambition and naivete in an endless boom led to disaster. The dizzying highs and brutal lows of this era eerily mirror today’s world—where markets soar\, political tensions mount\, and the fight over financial influence plays out once again. The Wall Street Journal calls it “one of the best narrative histories [we’ve] read.” It was named a Best Book of 2025 by TIME\, The Economist\, The Financial Times and Bloomberg. \nHailed as a landmark book\, “Too Big to Fail: How Wall Street and Washington Fought to Save the Financial System–and Themselves\,” is considered the definitive account of the 2008 financial crisis. It won the 2010 Gerald Loeb Award for Best Business Book\, and was shortlisted for the 2010 Samuel Johnson Prize and the 2010 Financial Times Business Book of the Year Award. The book spent more than six months on the New York Times bestseller list in hardcover and paperback and was adapted as a movie for HBO Films in 2011. Sorkin was a co-producer of the film\, which was nominated for 11 Emmy Awards. \nSorkin is also co-creator of the drama series “Billions” on Showtime starring Paul Giamatti and Damien Lewis. \nSorkin is one the preeminent interviewers in the nation\, known for his incisive\, nuanced long-form conversations with the biggest newsmakers in the world\, from Elon Musk to LeBron James to Kim Kardashian and Hillary Clinton. In 2022\, he won the Emmy award for Outstanding Live Interview for his DealBook Summit 2021 conversation with Adam Neumann\, the WeWork co-founder’s first public interview after the company’s collapse. \nOver the years\, Sorkin has broken news of many major mergers and acquisitions in the pages of The Times and has been at the forefront of Wall Street news. He reported extensively on the financial crisis of 2008\, its aftermath on Wall Street and the government bailout of major investment banks\, with coverage including the collapse of Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers\, and the A.I.G. bailout. He has broken news of deals including Chase’s acquisition of J.P. Morgan and Hewlett-Packard’s acquisition of Compaq. He also led The Times’s coverage of Vodafone’s $183 billion hostile bid for Mannesmann\, resulting in the world’s largest takeover ever. \nAs a leading voice about Wall Street and corporate America\, Sorkin is a frequent guest on national television and radio programs\, as well as a lecturer at universities across the country. He has appeared on NBC’s “The Today Show\,” PBS’s “NewsHour\,” HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher\,” NPR’s “Talk of the Nation\,” and many others. \nHe won a Gerald Loeb Award in 2004 for breaking the news of I.B.M.’s historic sale of its PC business to Lenovo. He was also a finalist in the commentary category for his DealBook column\, and won a Society of American Business Editors and Writers Award for breaking news in 2005 and again in 2006. In 2007\, the World Economic Forum named him a Young Global Leader. He is co-chair of The New York Public Library’s Business Leadership Council and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.\n‍\nSorkin began writing for The New York Times in 1995 under unusual circumstances: he hadn’t yet graduated from high school. He is a graduate of Cornell University. For more information\, visit https://www.andrewrosssorkin.com.
