As president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and then as President Barack Obama’s secretary of the Treasury, Timothy F. Geithner helped the United States navigate the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, from boom to bust to rescue to recovery. In a candid, riveting, and historically illuminating memoir, he takes readers behind the scenes of the crisis, explaining the hard choices and politically unpalatable decisions he made to repair a broken financial system and prevent the collapse of the Main Street economy. This is the inside story of how a small group of policy makers—in a thick fog of uncertainty, with unimaginably high stakes—helped avoid a second depression but lost the American people doing it. Stress Test is also a valuable guide to how governments can better manage financial crises, because this one won’t be the last.
Stress Test reveals a side of Secretary Geithner the public has never seen, starting with his childhood as an American abroad. He recounts his early days as a young Treasury official helping to fight the international financial crises of the 1990s, then describes what he saw, what he did, and what he missed at the New York Fed before the Wall Street boom went bust. He takes readers inside the room as the crisis began, intensified, and burned out of control, discussing the most controversial episodes of his tenures at the New York Fed and the Treasury, including the rescue of Bear Stearns; the harrowing weekend when Lehman Brothers failed; the searing crucible of the AIG rescue as well as the furor over the firm’s lavish bonuses; the battles inside the Obama administration over his widely criticized but ultimately successful plan to end the crisis; and the bracing fight for the most sweeping financial reforms in more than seventy years. Secretary Geithner also describes the aftershocks of the crisis, including the administration’s efforts to address high unemployment, a series of brutal political battles over deficits and debt, and the drama over Europe’s repeated flirtations with the economic abyss.
Secretary Geithner is not a politician, but he has things to say about politics—the silliness, the nastiness, the toll it took on his family. But in the end, Stress Test is a hopeful story about public service. In this revealing memoir, Tim Geithner explains how America withstood the ultimate stress test of its political and financial systems.

对金融危机的产生及应对进行深刻总结的力作
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
如果说现今在世的谁对于金融危机最有发言权的话,那么除了Bernanke之外大概就要数到Geithner了。作为一名职业公务员,很少有人有他这样的应对危机的丰富经历--从任职财政部处理国际经济事务亲身参与墨西哥龙舌兰危机,亚洲金融危机;到纽约联储局任上亲眼目睹危机前的产生到崩... (展开)没想到这次金融危机影响如此深远
《压力测试》的一些流水账
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
1、为什么是压力测试 金融危机是对于普通世人的一次真实压力测试。 金融危机也是对美国政治制度的压力测试,是对民主能力的极端实时的挑战,即当世界需要创新、果断、政治性的行动来引领时,有能力去引领世界。 2、财政部起步——处置若干新兴国家危机 墨西哥债务危机 东南亚金... (展开)要善于肯定,不要仅仅去否定(Be for stuff, not just against staff)
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
这本《压力测试》正好可以和保尔森的《峭壁边缘》凑成美国金融危机的上下册比较来看,就连盖特纳也认同自己被任命为财政部长是一个信号,即政府会继续向金融系统提供政府援助。 金融危机是信心危机。美国这场金融危机的根本原因就是易发生挤兑的杠杆融资与大幅增长的长期借贷模... (展开)> 更多书评 21篇

今年读过最精彩的书之一。在对一项经济政策的利弊进行评估前应该先好好读读这本书。

有时候觉得历史就是不断事件的排列组合,所以自己的人生也不必太认真,我们只是排列组合中的偶发事件而已。

避雷有声书,内容本就啰嗦,再加上作者语速不均的唐僧念经,整个一催眠神器。 书中反复强调了几件事,一是对妻子的歉意,二是对奥巴马的彩虹屁,三是自证在08年金融危机时他作为美国财政部长救市决策的合理性。 既然对道德风险的谴责总归只是在提出问题,而不是解决问题,于是我也不得不(心不甘情不愿地)承认当年美联储的所作所为的确是所有垃圾选项中的最优解(我并非没有预设立场,即对Keynesian主义存疑)但不管... 避雷有声书,内容本就啰嗦,再加上作者语速不均的唐僧念经,整个一催眠神器。 书中反复强调了几件事,一是对妻子的歉意,二是对奥巴马的彩虹屁,三是自证在08年金融危机时他作为美国财政部长救市决策的合理性。 既然对道德风险的谴责总归只是在提出问题,而不是解决问题,于是我也不得不(心不甘情不愿地)承认当年美联储的所作所为的确是所有垃圾选项中的最优解(我并非没有预设立场,即对Keynesian主义存疑)但不管如何开脱,忽悠全世界持有美债分明就是在巩固美金霸权地位(总之打不过就加入吧盆友们 (展开)

收获很多。对非常规金融经济形势,需维护好本国利益的核心,用强大信念去落实,而不是优柔寡断。
