Uber’s Andrew Macdonald on what America’s economy looks like from the driver’s seat

Few companies are a stronger barometer of the American economy today than Uber, and few executives have a clearer view of what’s coming than its president and COO, Andrew Macdonald.

This is an abridged transcript of an interview from Rapid Response, hosted by former Fast Company editor-in-chief Robert Safian.
