The Rise and Fall of General Electric (Myth20c - Ep176)
Founded in 1892 by Thomas Edison with the backing of J.P. Morgan, General Electric has been a stalwart of American business for most of its history. Sprawling over a multitude of industrial divisions, including electric turbines, jet engines, locomotives and medical devices, the conglomerate outperformed its rivals in the 1980s and 90s by a wide margin, but in the 2000s, a series of bad deals and allegations of accounting fraud led to GE being de-listed from the Dow Jones Industrial Average in 2018 after having been its longest serving member since 1907. Tonight we discuss how this storied institution got to this point, and what it portends about the state of American industry as a whole.
