From delivering blowout profits for Soros Fund Management during Black Wednesday to steering Trump’s tariff wars with a data-first, technocratic edge, Bessent brings Wall Street prowess into the halls of power. His fascinating blend of restoration-minded historic property deals, ideological crossovers, and economic policymaking reflects the complex intersections of wealth, identity, and governance.
