Things Were Different In 1980

I haven’t read it, but who can resist Bette Midler’s ultra-succinct, possibly unfair (remember, I haven’t read it), blurb for David Gelles’s The Man Who Broke Capitalism: How Jack Welch Gutted the Heartland and Crushed the Soul of Corporate America—and How to Undo His Legacy, excerpted here.

Which led me to this 1980 Bette Midler interview.

Which is 20 minutes long with no financial advice . . .

. . . in contrast to these 12 minutes that same year with David Letterman.
