Cap No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. Didn't get very far. God, what a bore.  sarahlh | Mar 6, 2021 |   ReneEberstein | Sep 17, 2016 | Alan Greenspan (Nueva York, 1926) ha sido asesor de Richard Nixon y presidente de la Reserva Federal de EE. UU. entre 1987 y 2006, con Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton y George W. Bush. Observador privilegiado y comentarista único de la situación económica mundial de las últimas décadas, en La era de las turbulencias, Alan Greenspan hace recuento de su vida y sus experiencias laborales, reconoce que la guerra de Irak tiene que ver con el petróleo y alude a temas candentes de la economía contemporánea, como la burbuja inmobiliaria. (  ) HavanaIRC | Aug 9, 2016 | The book can be divided into these three broad categories of reading, - Being an autobiography he begins with vignettes of his formative years which are of course interesting to read like being in Mary Kutty George's class. - Moving on, the other sections that are equally if not more interesting are his descriptions of how the Fed and the US Government dealt with the various international crises (Mexico 1994, Asian 1997, Russia 1997). Also his in depth analysis of the US economy during WWII, Post WWII, Interactions with International movers and shakers. These parts of the book made you feel like you were listening to one of Bhaskaran's lengthy but interesting observations on any subject he chose to teach on that day and you all know how he was so adept at that. - For the most part this book reads like a textbook where he does several deep dives into Phd level economics delivered Kamath style. Some of the parts I had to re-read several times (and still ended up being overhead transmission). To sum up, this book is certainly not everyone's cup of tea. If Economics is truly your first love or you plan to return to college and are looking for a good text book then by all means go for it. danoomistmatiste | Jan 24, 2016 | The book can be divided into these three broad categories of reading, - Being an autobiography he begins with vignettes of his formative years which are of course interesting to read like being in Mary Kutty George's class. - Moving on, the other sections that are equally if not more interesting are his descriptions of how the Fed and the US Government dealt with the various international crises (Mexico 1994, Asian 1997, Russia 1997).

 For a memoir from such a high-profile figure, it is surprisingly frank. Large parts of the book are downright entertaining. Its biggest failing — the reason it isn’t a great memoir — is Mr. Greenspan’s reluctance to be as forthright and penetrating about himself as he is about others.
After 9/11, Alan Greenspan, Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, 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. This book is Alan Greenspan's 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.--From publisher description.
