A Conversation With the Former U.S. Ambassador to Germany

As the September 24 German elections approach, former U.S. Ambassador to Germany John Emerson discusses his outlook for the political contest, the future of Europe in the age of populism, and his new role helping Capital Group expand its investment offerings around the world. Emerson, now Vice Chairman of Capital Group International, served as the ambassador to Germany during a particularly momentous time from August 2013 to January 2017.

Listen and learn:

  • How German Chancellor Angela Merkel may fare in the elections, from a man who knows her well
  • Why populism continues to exert significant influence over Western democracy
  • What exactly are Capital Group's growth plans outside the U.S.

Your host, Matt Miller, is the policy and communications advisor for Capital Group. An author and former Washington Post columnist, Matt was co-host of the public radio program Left, Right & Center.
