Welcome to a new era

• Goldman Sachs was once the most feared name on Wall Street. Those days are gone.
• Adam Rogers offers a radical proposal to get America building again.
• A Business Insider report chronicles life as the spouse of a startup founder.
• Inside the strange, secretive rise of the “overemployed.”

Though we were known by that name for years, we aren’t moving backwards. This is a new beginning, and I couldn’t be more excited.

Don’t get me wrong — it was great being Insider. We won a Pulitzer and two Emmys as Insider.

But this change represents a recommitment to the coverage areas you know and love us for: business, tech, and innovation.

So what does this mean for you as a reader?

We’ll be providing you with journalism that’s as informative as it is transformative. We’ll dig deeper into trends and innovations driving the global economy and markets forward. And because you have full lives outside of work, we’ll keep bringing you stories about health, travel, parenting, science, and more.

I’m so fired up. Welcome to Business Insider.

The famed journalist Bethany McLean has a fascinating deep dive on the state of Goldman Sachs. The prestigious investment bank, where McLean once worked, has had a tumultuous few years. At the center of much of the drama is its embattled CEO, David Solomon.

Megaprojects — railroads, skyscrapers, rockets to the moon — were once the US’s “thing.” But for the past 50 years, the US has been coasting. A crisis of inaction threatens to cripple the economy beyond repair, condemn millions of people to poverty, and worsen the death toll from global warming.

Rogers spoke with dozens of experts about whether there’s a single, overarching answer to the crucial question facing the US: How can America build its way back to greatness?

He came away convinced there’s a radical, surefire solution — it’s just not the one he expected to find. Or one he thought he’d agree with.

Business Insider’s Melia Russell offers a searingly honest peek into the life of someone married to a startup entrepreneur. She chronicles the pressures that come with watching someone you love pursue a dream in a field where most people fail.

As if that’s not hard enough, Russell reports on the very industry her husband is trying to break into. “I knew too much about what could go wrong, like a first lady who doubled as a reporter in the White House press corps,” she writes.

They describe themselves as “overemployed” and seize on the privacy provided by remote work to juggle multiple jobs on the sly, multiplying their paychecks in the process.
