Book Description:

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.

中文简介:   

美国联邦准备理事会前主席格林斯潘,对世界金融市场的影响力仍举足轻重。在“9.11”事件后,格林斯潘认识到了全球资本经济环境已经和二十年前大不相同,更加开放、弹性、自主,而变化快速,带给人们前所未有的诸多机会。在本书中,格林斯潘以他自身的经验,带领读者检视了这个新经济世界的本质。

本书是格林斯潘的自传性质作品,分为两部分。前半部分,回顾了他的童年时期对他后来人生的影响,以及在他十八年的美国联准会主席任期中所经历的转变。后半部分, 格林斯潘分享了他的经验,为读者介绍了了解全球经济最重要的概念工具:他举出经济成长的共通点、探究各个主要地区及国家所发生的特殊事件、并解释了今后全球化的趋势导向。

作者将其一生的智慧学识和观察浓缩在这本书之中,传达他一以贯之的世界价值观,本书将成为格林斯潘送给人类社会最珍贵的智慧遗产。
