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...
评分这本书在08年读过。这次再读,是想看看十年过去了,是否会有新的体会,另外也想再看一下格林斯潘在位时各种货币政策决策的背后想法。不过再读下来,发现有关其央行行长期间技术性的东西讲得不多。这本书基本上前半部分(1-11章)是讲经历,后半部分(12-25章)是讲理念。个人经...
评分存档http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_49275b4201000d1n.html 一个幸运的人——评格林斯潘回忆录《动荡的年代:历险新世界》 李华芳 相比于格林斯潘传奇的人生而言,即便是这本厚达544页的回忆录也依旧显得单薄。格林斯潘从里根时代起,就一直是美联储主席,直到2006年卸任时...
评分无意中在一家修车铺的书架上看到The Age of Turbulence: Adventure in a New World,Greenspan的自传。同所有梦想做苏格拉底,或者想给后人作出个苏格拉底样子的老头一样,这老头儿迫不及待的在次贷火山爆发之前出了这本自传。其实也不是他写的,后面有一群Just in Time的编辑...
看看,不错……
评分Greenspan, 是本很好的书 但是我要放弃了 T^T
评分汉语版,翻译的人貌似有很大的成见啊。我对格林斯潘没有特别好感,也不讨厌。政治嘛。
评分传奇一生+分析世界经济环境,未来走向。
评分在市中心Marktplatz找到一本全新的格林斯潘自传,仅售4.99欧,天上掉馅饼啊。不过这也说明,德国人民不太待见这个头上仅有几缕银丝带着眼镜的老头。。。也好,便宜了我。
