As president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and then as President Barack Obama’s secretary of the Treasury, Timothy F. Geithner helped the United States navigate the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, from boom to bust to rescue to recovery. In a candid, riveting, and historically illuminating memoir, he takes readers behind the scenes of the crisis, explaining the hard choices and politically unpalatable decisions he made to repair a broken financial system and prevent the collapse of the Main Street economy. This is the inside story of how a small group of policy makers—in a thick fog of uncertainty, with unimaginably high stakes—helped avoid a second depression but lost the American people doing it. Stress Test is also a valuable guide to how governments can better manage financial crises, because this one won’t be the last.
Stress Test reveals a side of Secretary Geithner the public has never seen, starting with his childhood as an American abroad. He recounts his early days as a young Treasury official helping to fight the international financial crises of the 1990s, then describes what he saw, what he did, and what he missed at the New York Fed before the Wall Street boom went bust. He takes readers inside the room as the crisis began, intensified, and burned out of control, discussing the most controversial episodes of his tenures at the New York Fed and the Treasury, including the rescue of Bear Stearns; the harrowing weekend when Lehman Brothers failed; the searing crucible of the AIG rescue as well as the furor over the firm’s lavish bonuses; the battles inside the Obama administration over his widely criticized but ultimately successful plan to end the crisis; and the bracing fight for the most sweeping financial reforms in more than seventy years. Secretary Geithner also describes the aftershocks of the crisis, including the administration’s efforts to address high unemployment, a series of brutal political battles over deficits and debt, and the drama over Europe’s repeated flirtations with the economic abyss.
Secretary Geithner is not a politician, but he has things to say about politics—the silliness, the nastiness, the toll it took on his family. But in the end, Stress Test is a hopeful story about public service. In this revealing memoir, Tim Geithner explains how America withstood the ultimate stress test of its political and financial systems.
Timothy F. Geithner was the seventy-fifth secretary of the U.S. Department of the Treasury and previously served as president and chief executive officer of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. He wrote this book as a distinguished fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations.

今年读过最精彩的书之一。在对一项经济政策的利弊进行评估前应该先好好读读这本书。

评分Geithner在政府部门工作25年参与扑灭多场金融危机的大火,希望他在新东家Warburg Pincus不再做消防队长。
评分大概整个DC,不,整个美国,能够如此细致地讲述、辩解和反思金融危机的人除了Geithner没有第二个人。会经常翻出来看。
本想只在豆瓣评论上写一些感想,没想到一写就是洋洋洒洒三千字。实在是好书,便还是以书评形式贴出,与志同道合者共享。 巴老形容这本书的词最好: Sensational! 从前对大衰退的理解多来源于草根作品,然而这个世界上恐怕也没有像盖特纳这样自始至终身临其境又酷毙得能直来直往...
评分对几个金融人物的点评:格林斯潘对市场理性和有效性有近乎神学一样的信仰,并且非常怀疑政府监管和规制的有效性;鲁宾则由于来自市场,对市场的理性不那么有信心;Summers介于两者之间;而盖特纳则更接近于鲁宾(p85-86)。相比之下,在政策分析时,Summers更强调逻辑,而盖特...
评分 评分作为纽约联邦储备银行的主席和美国总统贝拉克•奥巴马的财政部长,盖特纳帮助美国渡过了大萧条以来最严重的金融危机,从繁荣到萧条到抢救再到复苏。在这部坦诚、吸引人、有历史价值的回忆录中,带领读者领略危机的台前幕后,解释他如何做出各种艰难抉择以及在政治上不受欢迎的...
评分1. 贯穿全书的一个伦理矛盾是:救市会挽救危机,但会姑息那些引发危机的不负责的华尔街贪婪鬼;不救虽然出了口气,但会让火势蔓延,造成更大的损失。 2. 作者非常明白且理解政治的障碍,但作者以技术官僚的专业立场坚定主张救市,因为这是正确的事。我相信作者+保尔森+伯南克的...
