罗伯特·鲁宾(Robert Rubin):花旗银行执行董事会主席,美国克林顿时期财政部长(1995—1999),高盛公司董事会主席(1990—1992)。作者呈现给读者的是一本“借自传形式介绍政策的书籍”。书中以很短的篇幅回忆了童年时代和求学历程,随后描述他人生经历中的华彩篇章(高盛—白宫—花旗),阐述了他所笃信的“或然性理论”,也从一个侧面讲述了美国前总统克林顿的工作和生活。
Robert Rubin was sworn in as the seventieth U.S. Secretary of the Treasury in January 1995 in a brisk ceremony attended only by his wife and a few colleagues. As soon as the ceremony was over, he began an emergency meeting with President Bill Clinton on the financial crisis in Mexico. This was not only a harbinger of things to come during what would prove to be a rocky period in the global economy; it also captured the essence of Rubin himself--short on formality, quick to get into the nitty-gritty.
From his early years in the storied arbitrage department at Goldman Sachs to his current position as chairman of the executive committee of Citigroup, Robert Rubin has been a major figure at the center of the American financial system. He was a key player in the longest economic expansion in U.S. history. With In an Uncertain World , Rubin offers a shrewd, keen analysis of some of the most important events in recent American history and presents a clear, consistent approach to thinking about markets and dealing with the new risks of the global economy.
Rubin's fundamental philosophy is that nothing is provably certain. Probabilistic thinking has guided his career in both business and government. We see that discipline at work in meetings with President Clinton and Hillary Clinton, Chinese premier Zhu Rongji, Alan Greenspan, Lawrence Summers, Newt Gingrich, Sanford Weill, and the late Daniel Patrick Moynihan. We see Rubin apply it time and again while facing financial crises in Asia, Russia, and Brazil; the federal government shutdown; the rise and fall of the stock market; the challenges of the post-September 11 world; the ongoing struggle over fiscal policy; and many other momentous economic and political events.
With a compelling and candid voice and a sharp eye for detail, Rubin portrays the daily life of the White House-confronting matters both mighty and mundane--as astutely as he examines the challenges that lie ahead for the nation. Part political memoir, part prescriptive economic analysis, and part personal look at business problems, In an Uncertain World is a deep examination of Washington and Wall Street by a figure who for three decades has been at the center of both worlds.

评分此书开篇,鲁宾就任财政部长的第一天,宣誓完毕,马上就到克林顿办公室开会,着手处理墨西哥债务危机。墨西哥危机的处理经过与当今时事想对照,实可以很好理解体会美国政治家应对危机的心路历程和美国政治的运作机制。 墨西哥长期靠引入外资、借贷外债维持经济发展,本已...

评分读过中文版。 书中讲到他个人的成长历程,值得借鉴,但更主要的更值得学习的是他如何做决策的观点,特别是在没有(也无法掌握)完全信息的情况下,如何处理危机。他在财长任中正赶上亚洲金融危机,得以大显身手。本书不仅对目前全球金融危机是及时的参照,也是一个人成长过程中的上好的养料。
评分不确定的世界 做好抉择
