In the immediate aftermath of September 11, 2001, in his fourteenth year as Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, Alan Greenspan took part in a very quiet collective effort to ensure that America didn't experience an economic meltdown, taking the rest of the world with it. There was good reason to fear the worst: the stock market crash of October 1987, his first major crisis as Federal Reserve Chairman, coming just weeks after he assumed control, had come much closer than is even today generally known to freezing the financial system and triggering a genuine financial panic. But the most remarkable thing that happened to the economy after 9/11 was...nothing. What in an earlier day would have meant a crippling shock to the system was absorbed astonishingly quickly.
After 9/11 Alan Greenspan knew, if he needed any further reinforcement, that we're living in a new world - the world of a global capitalist economy that is vastly more flexible, resilient, open, self-directing, and fast-changing than it was even 20 years ago. It's a world that presents us with enormous new possibilities but also enormous new challenges. The Age of Turbulence is Alan Greenspan's incomparable reckoning with the nature of this new world - how we got here, what we're living through, and what lies over the horizon, for good and for ill-channeled through his own experiences working in the command room of the global economy for longer and with greater effect than any other single living figure. He begins his account on that September 11th morning, but then leaps back to his childhood, and follows the arc of his remarkable life's journey through to his more than 18-year tenure as Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, from 1987 to 2006, during a time of transforming change.
Alan Greenspan shares the story of his life first simply with an eye toward doing justice to the extraordinary amount of history he has experienced and shaped. But his other goal is to draw readers along the same learning curve he followed, so they accrue a grasp of his own understanding of the underlying dynamics that drive world events. In the second half of the book, having brought us to the present and armed us with the conceptual tools to follow him forward, Dr. Greenspan embarks on a magnificent tour de horizon of the global economy. He reveals the universals of economic growth, delves into the specific facts on the ground in each of the major countries and regions of the world, and explains what the trend-lines of globalization are from here. The distillation of a life's worth of wisdom and insight into an elegant expression of a coherent worldview, The Age of Turbulence will stand as Alan Greenspan's personal and intellectual legacy.

读后感
“经济民粹主义幻想一个更为直接了当的世界，在这个世界中，其观念架构似乎偏离明显而紧迫的需求。其原则很简单。如果发生失业，那么政府就应该雇佣这些失业的人。如果货币紧俏导致利率攀高，那么政府就应该设定利率上限或多印一些钱出来。如果进口对工作产生威胁，就停止进口...

评分郭凱推薦，轉機回家時在機場初讀第一章，犇。
评分Details of every walk of life are what should be focused on. Obviously, empirical methology is the belief of Greenspan, and numerous economists in US. Despite the fact that factors cannot be gleaned totally, efficiently and freely, the system, which we are living in, will be understood with mathmatics and analytical abstraction sooner or later. What really matters in China is a far cry from the situations that any other capitalized-mechanism countriy has been confronted with. The RSS sometimes is the dominant factor of the regressonal equator in China. I pretty much appreciate the kindness and a gold heart of Mr.G, however Sino-US must be in the age of turbulence.
