Alan Greenspan Książki

The most remarkable thing that happened to the world economy after 9/11 was ...nothing. What would have once 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. The post 9/11 global economy is a new and turbulent system - vastly more flexible, resilient, open, self-directing, and fast-changing than it was even twenty years ago. The Age of Turbulence is an incomparable reckoning with the nature of this new world - how we got here, what we're living through, and what lies over the horizon, for good or ill, channelled through Greenspan's own experiences working in the command room of the global economy for longer and with greater effect than any other single living figure.

An inspiring, rip-roaring read - like the astonishing story it describes' Liam Halligan, Daily Telegraph. Where does prosperity come from, and how does it spread through society? What role does innovation play in creating prosperity, and why do some eras see its benefits spread more democratically while others do not? Alan Greenspan, former Chair of the Federal Reserve, distills a lifetime of grappling with these questions into a profound assessment of the decisive drivers of the US economy throughout its history. Alongside historian Adrian Wooldridge, he unfolds a narrative of vast landscapes, titanic figures, and significant breakthroughs, alongside moral failings. Every crucial American economic debate is explored, from slavery's role in the antebellum Southern economy to America's fluctuating openness to global trade. The authors argue that America's genius lies in its embrace of creative destruction—the relentless cycle of the old giving way to the new. Though messy and painful, this process has elevated the majority of Americans to unprecedented living standards. As productivity stalls and populist sentiments rise, the work explains why America has thrived in the past and remains a formidable engine of economic growth.

The foundations of capitalism are being battered by a flood of altruism, which is the cause of the modern world's collapse. This is the view of Ayn Rand, a view so radically opposed to prevailing attitudes that it constitutes a major philosophic revolution. In this series of essays, she presents her stand on the persecution of big business, the causes of war, the default of conservatism, and the evils of altruism. Here is a challenging new look at modern society by one of the most provocative intellectuals on the American scene.   This edition includes two articles by Ayn Rand that did not appear in the hardcover edition: “The Wreckage of the Consensus,” which presents the Objectivists’ views on Vietnam and the draft; and “Requiem for Man,” an answer to the Papal encyclical Progresso Populorum.

Like all of us, though few so visibly, Alan Greenspan was forced by the financial crisis of 2008 to question some fundamental assumptions about risk management and economic forecasting. How had our models so utterly failed us? Virtually every day, we make wagers on the future - but, even when we're not driven by factors entirely beyond our conscious control, the maps by which we are steering are often out-of-date. The Map and the Territory is an important attempt to update our forecasting conceptual grid using twenty-first-century technologies, offering a lucid and empirical grounding in what we can know about economic forecasting and what we can't.
