The Age Of Turbulence is Alan Greenspan’s incomparable reckoning with the contemporary financial world, channeled through his own experiences working in the command room of the global economy longer and with greater effect than any other single living figure. Following the arc of his remarkable life’s journey through his more than eighteen-year tenure as chairman of the Federal Reserve Board to the present, in the second half of The Age of Turbulence Dr. Greenspan embarks on a magnificent tour d’horizon of the global economy. 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.

Many of the huge challenges China's reformers face
are well known: the reactionary old guard; the vast rural population that
is to date barely sharing in the boom and is with modest exceptions forbidden
to migrate to cities; the huge remaining chunks of the Soviet-style
command economy, including still-bloated, inefficient state-owned enterprises;
the largely struggling banking system that serves those enterprises;
the lack of modern financial and accounting expertise; corruption, the almost
necessary by-product of any pyramidal power structure based on discretion;
and finally, lack of political freedom, which may not be needed for
markets to function in the short run, but is an important safety valve for
public distress about injustice and inequity. (查看原文)

太多人说“泡沫”,听多次创业的人讲 “what happened ten years ago is happening right now”。我也不知道十年前究竟发生了什么,所以开始找从1995年左右科技业陡然兴起到泡沫破裂期间的资料。于是想起来以前看的这段,为了别的地方用就把这章译了下。 这一段文的中心思想就...

A book that took me 4 years to finish but definitely worth the time. It touches on many economic issues with distinctive insights. Worth another read.

和07-08年金融危机相比,书名实在搞笑,难怪伯南克要说“irony”了。格老还是命好。

一开头就读不下去,很令人惊讶他的思维可以这么狭窄,深度可以这么浅薄,MAESTRO,我觉得普通的老人都比他思想有深度。也许是被全世界吹捧的太久,把自己的脑子都吹蒙了吧。
