Maggiori informazioni sul libro
In eight Tuesdays each year, Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan convenes a small committee to set the short-term interest rate, impacting the American and global economies significantly. The committee's decisions influence the economic well-being of every American, affecting the availability of loans, mortgages, job creation, and national growth. The inner workings of the Federal Reserve and Greenspan's enigmatic leadership have remained a closely guarded secret. In this exploration, Bob Woodward provides an insider's view of the Fed and Greenspan’s thought processes. Readers witness the internal debates as the American economy experiences a historic 10-year expansion amidst global financial crises. Greenspan's role is portrayed as both subtle and blunt, revealing his complex character—sometimes nervous, sometimes calm, navigating between mathematics and politics. The narrative captures his intellectual evolution from an anti-inflation hawk to a visionary who recognizes the potential of the modern, high-productivity economy, which underpins the current American boom. Woodward's account offers a compelling portrait of Greenspan as a symbol of American economic dominance.
