What C.E.O.s are talking about at Milken

Billionaires and business leaders have flocked to Los Angeles for the annual Milken Institute Global Conference, where they plan to get business done — and find refuge from populist movements.

The conference is seen as more business-focused than other global meetings like the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. (It was founded by Michael Milken, the former banking mogul.)

This year’s meeting acknowledges the political climate. Its theme is “driving shared prosperity,” Bloomberg notes, at a time when democratic socialism is ascendant and presidential candidates talk about raising taxes on the rich.

Among those expected to attend are David Solomon of Goldman Sachs, Steve Schwarzman of Blackstone and Leon Black of Apollo Global Management.
