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.

The traditional wisdom still applies to this world today. It is absolutely amazing to see how correct Alan Greenspan has seen about the world economy. Ppl tend to forget many severe underlying problems under an age of prosperity. However, like what he descr...

評分 評分格林斯潘這本書齣瞭很久瞭,我是剛巧在圖書館碰到七天快藉纔順手拿下的。既然到瞭我手裏那肯定就不止七天,最多罰款。 雖然不止七天我也到底是沒看完,一來英文閱讀速度太慢,二來很多章節有時間我也懶得看。那些講美國金融政策演變,財經大事記的題材,我都沒什麼興趣。...

看瞭將近一個月,最後還是要跳過最後兩章來結束這本讓人大開眼界的書。格林斯潘能掌管聯儲這麼多年,不是沒有原因的。
評分#Greenspan's life and insights are truly inspirational.

評分漢語版,翻譯的人貌似有很大的成見啊。我對格林斯潘沒有特彆好感,也不討厭。政治嘛。
評分太長瞭
