The Age of Turbulence: Adventures in a New World

The Age of Turbulence is Alan Greenspan’s personal and intellectual legacy. This book is about Greenspan’s incomparable reckoning with the contemporary financial world. The first half of the book is an autobiographical chronology of Greenspan's life, while the second half retells several major economic events that have occurred over the past half century. The Age of Turbulence is a brilliant book channeled through Greenspan's own experiences working in the command room of the global economy, with his eighteen-year tenure as a Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board.

"The most unexpectedly charming Washington insider memoir since Katharine Graham's a decade ago"
Michael Kinsley, The New York Times Book Review

"With his book, [Greenspan] finally lets us know what he s thinking. . . . surprisingly frank . . . downright entertaining."
David Leonhardt, The New York Times
