The founder of The New York Times\u2019 DealBook, he is an accomplished business reporter, blogger, editor, author, anchor, and film producer. Sorkin currently serves as a columnist and editor-at-large for The New York Times and co-anchor of CNBC\u2019s signature morning program, \u201cSquawk Box.\u201d He is the author of \u201cToo Big to Fail,\u201d the 2010 bestseller adapted as a movie by HBO Films, and co-producer of \u201cBillions,\u201d now in its fifth season on Showtime. In his oral history interview, Sorkin, a masterful storyteller, credits his lifelong interest in trying to understand people and consider what it is like to walk in their shoes for helping to make his reporting stand out. \u201cA lot of people look at the world of money or business or politics or whatever as about big institutions, about math, about numbers, and I\u2019ve never seen it that way,\u201d he says. \u201cI\u2019ve always seen it through the prism of people. What makes you tick and what is motivating you, and what are the incentives that make you do what you do?\u201d     Before Andrew even graduated New York\u2019s Scarsdale High School, he had talked his way into an internship at The New York Times. This oral history, conducted by Dean Rotbart, editor-in-chief of NewsLuminaries.com, was recorded on February 19, 2020.
