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.

評分1、翻译质量很差,参差不齐,前后不一致。对照着英文版看才不被弄糊涂。 2、引言、第十二、十三、十八、十九、二十、二十五章不错。 3、Alan Greenspan为free market capitalism摇旗呐喊。 4、反市场思想的根源:第一,竞争和冒险产生的焦虑,本质上是对风险、不确定性的回避。...
評分我觉得做美联储主席的难度比做美财长的难度要低些,前者相当于开火车,你只有加速和减速两种选择,而后者如同开飞机,你要应对所有可能的要素,并且要经常提出新的道路来。 但是,要在鲁宾和格林斯潘两个人中分个高下,似乎很难。 两人都有同样清晰的头脑,同样理性的判断,...
評分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...
評分上周五,收到在淘宝上购买的书《我们的新世界》。该书是鼎鼎大名的前美联储主席Alan Greenspan的回忆录。台版平装,繁体竖排,2007年10月二版三刷,印质精良。译者是台大出生的美国西北大学经管硕士,金融本家,翻得流畅明了。129¥包邮(书价450新台币,按4:1比例换算差不多)...
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。
评分郭凱推薦,轉機迴傢時在機場初讀第一章,犇。
评分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。
评分感覺像自傳似的內容。
评分Details of every walk of life are what should be focused on. Obviously, empirical methology is the belief of Greenspan, and numerous economists in US. Despite the fact that factors cannot be gleaned totally, efficiently and freely, the system, which we are living in, will be understood with mathmatics and analytical abstraction sooner or later. What really matters in China is a far cry from the situations that any other capitalized-mechanism countriy has been confronted with. The RSS sometimes is the dominant factor of the regressonal equator in China. I pretty much appreciate the kindness and a gold heart of Mr.G, however Sino-US must be in the age of turbulence.
