|a The most remarkable thing that happened to the world economy after 9/11 was..nothing. What would once have meant a crippling shock to the system was absorbed astonishingly quickly, partly due to the efforts of the then Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, Alan Greenspan. He shares the story of his life to convey to readers the full flavour of the extraordinary years he has experiences and helped shape, taking full measure of the individuals who make strong impressions on him, including every US President from Noxon to George W Bush, Prime Ministers Thatcher, Blair and Brown, and the great crises and challenges that they faced. His other goal is to draw readers along the same learning curve he followed, so they have a grasp of his own clear-sighted and hard-won understanding of the dynamics that drive world events. The distillation of a life's worth of wisdom and insight into than elegant expression of a coherent worldview, The Age oif Turbulence is Alan Greenspan's personal and intellectual legacy.
