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“經濟民粹主義幻想一個更為直接瞭當的世界,在這個世界中,其觀念架構似乎偏離明顯而緊迫的需求。其原則很簡單。如果發生失業,那麼政府就應該雇傭這些失業的人。如果貨幣緊俏導緻利率攀高,那麼政府就應該設定利率上限或多印一些錢齣來。如果進口對工作産生威脅,就停止進口...

評分Audiobook下載:百度雲網盤。很喜歡朗讀者的聲音和節奏。比巴菲特的自傳容易聽,Greenspan一生的職業生涯又豈能是一本自傳能包容的下的呢。http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_49275b4201000d1n.html

評分2007.10.3 說話這樣囂張是難免的。他的很多idea其實還是不錯的,也算是個macro overview。
評分前一半講格林斯潘生平的還不錯 後邊一半開始陷入關於美國經濟體製和格林斯潘在位期間的政策的掙紮和爭論中 就比較晦澀 並有失偏頗
