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.

有趣的部分（未完成）

格老在任的时候口碑很好，一直到离任也鲜见媒体口诛笔伐。次贷危机的加剧，格老作为美国货币政策的舵手，成为众矢之的。似乎有失公允。 1，We rarely look closely at that principal operating unit of economic activity: the human bei...... (3回应)

人心动荡
mangosteen(straight to hell)

似乎特别钟情于纽约小老头。格林斯潘，伍迪艾伦：纽约人，大眼镜，勤于思考，古板的发型，看起来闷骚敏感，文字功底好。个人成功几乎全靠自我奋斗。书以9.11悲剧而开头，而国人较为熟悉的加拿大前总理克雷蒂安自传的开头也是叶利钦的葬礼。似乎悲伤的情绪更容易拴住人心。因为是英文，看得狠慢。因为是硬皮，看得狠累(...... (10回应)

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......

格林斯潘这本书出了很久了，我是刚巧在图书馆碰到七天快借才顺手拿下的。既然到了我手里那肯定就不止七天，最多罚款。虽然不止七天我也到底是没看完，一来英文阅读速度太慢，二来很多章节有时间我也懒得看。那些讲美国金融政策演变，财经大事记的题材，我都没什么兴趣。因为暂时既不考虑房子又没有投资，事不关已高高挂起。我只...... (3回应)

动荡年代
feitengzhu

拖了两年，终于这个假期把这本书读完了。这次危机把格林斯潘从神坛上拉下来了，不过，好像做事后诸葛亮的人有点多了，所以不想写金融这方面的东西了。最近有关心一下气候变暖的问题。我倒是觉得这个问题确实是在未来三十年里将成为人类越来越迫切要关心和解决的问题。我自己也觉得那个建立碳排放量交易市场的机制来完全解决这个问题是不现实的。......

观察一个人的经历，常常会矛盾，比较有意思。格林斯潘学生时代发表论文，痛斥美联署赤字惊人，不负责任的造纸钱，给以他为代表的后代们添麻烦；他混到了美联署主席之位后，变本加厉增大赤字，变本加厉造纸钱。退位后不负责任的说是乱糟糟的环境造成的：《in the age of turbulence> 他要有空，......

peter(支持白屋顶设想)

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，同样对市场力量的洞察。鲁宾对不确定性的分析令我折服，......
