Alan Greenspan was born in 1926 and reared in the Washington Heights neighborhood of New York City. After studying the clarinet at Juilliard and working as a professional musician, he earned his B.A., M.A. and Ph.D. in economics from New York University. In 1954, he cofounded the economic consulting firm Townsend-Greenspan & Co. From 1974 to 1977, he served as chair of the Council of Economic Advisors under President Gerald Ford. In 1987, President Ronald Reagan appointed him chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, a position he held until his retirement in 2006.
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. No one with any meaningful role in economic decision making in the world saw beforehand the storm for what it was. How had our models so utterly failed us?
To answer this question, Alan Greenspan embarked on a rigorous and far-reaching multiyear examination of how Homo economicus predicts the economic future, and how it can predict it better. Economic risk is a fact of life in every realm, from home to business to government at all levels. Whether we're conscious of it or not, we make wagers on the future virtually every day, one way or another. Very often, however, we're steering by out-of-date maps, when we're not driven by factors entirely beyond our conscious control.
The Map and the Territory is nothing less than an effort to update our forecasting conceptual grid using twenty-first-century technologies. It integrates the history of economic prediction, the new work of behavioral economists, and the fruits of the author's own remarkable career to offer a thrillingly lucid and empirically based grounding in what we can know about economic forecasting and what we can't. The book explores how culture is and isn't destiny and probes what we can predict about the world's biggest looming challenges, from debt and the reform of the welfare state to our competition with China to natural disasters in an age of global warming.
No map is the territory, but Greenspan's approach, grounded in his trademark rigor, wisdom, and unprecedented context, ensures that this particular map will assist in safe journeys down many different roads, traveled by individuals, businesses, and the state.
对于一个对经济学了解不多的人来说,《动荡的世界》对我来说也像是一本可以让人耳目一新的经济学教材,其中展现的是经济与人性之间的关系,让经济学不再停留于抽象的概念或公式。虽然其中充斥着许多专业的经济金融的行话,如杠杆率、交易对家、折现率、或然债务,以及一些回归...

评分素有世界金融舞台魔术师之称的格林斯潘又出书了!这位曾经连续18年掌舵美联储的风云人物,曾经数度带领美国经济走出危机(带领市场走出1987年股市崩盘和1998年长期资本管理公司危机;2001年,美国遭遇互联网泡沫以及“911”恐怖袭击后,果断采取连续降息举措,力挽狂澜)。除此...
评分来自于作者程思明的《格林斯潘的救赎与反思》的书评中这样写到: 可能没有一位经济学家能够像艾伦•格林斯潘这样,对自己曾经在经济领域中作出的误判公开反思。尽管格林斯潘的做法常被外界理解为无罪申辩,但无论如何,这位前美联储主席与其质疑者之间进行的拉锯式辩论,对今...

一個當年的頭牌對妓院及其繼任者作出的深刻剖析和控訴。或者说是一个退休老干部说了些人话真话。只是不明白这书的标题和内容啥关系。
评分对于我这样的经济学layman来说这本书的各章节讲的主题都很大,很科普。当然还是很多人由于不喜欢Greenspan本人而不喜欢本书。
评分不论学了多少经济理论,也不论格老是否有推卸责任的嫌疑(比如把次贷危机的起源部分归咎于发展中国家信贷不足储蓄率上升从而驱使利率下降),如本回忆录类似的书都是一定要读的。这些执牛耳者所观察的事,对理论高屋建瓴得分析,制定政策的过程,到危机过后的反省,是宏观经济最好的应用和思考。正如关于屋大维的奥古斯都的精准评论,“站在权利巅峰的人更能看到文明的力量”。
