Description
The Maestro explains himself. Alan Greenspan’s The Age of Turbulence (2007) is the memoir of the man who ran the world’s economy for 18 years: Federal Reserve chairman through booms, busts, and 9/11 — the most powerful economist who ever lived, for better and worse.
Greenspan writes with surprising candor about power: the Nixon years, the Reagan revolution, the dot-com bubble, the decisions that look different now. Whether you admire or blame him, this is the insider’s account of how the modern economy was managed — and mismanaged — at the highest level.
Essential economic history: lucid, revealing, and quietly dramatic. For anyone who wants to understand the forces that shaped our world — from the man who steered them. Greenspan’s candor is surprising and his stories are first-rate: the ultimate insider’s view of the modern economy. Essential for understanding our financial age. Eighteen years at the Fed, from boom to bust: Greenspan’s account is essential, even — especially — where you disagree with him.
