THE AGE OF TURBULENCE: After 9/11 Alan Greenspan knew, if he needed any further reinforcement, that we’re living in a new world—the world of a global capitalist economy that is vastly more flexible, resilient, open, self-directing, and fast-changing than it was even 20 years ago. It’s a world that presents us with enormous new possibilities but also enormous new challenges. THE AGE OF TURBULENCE is Alan Greenspan’s 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 and for ill—channeled through his own experiences working in the command room of the global economy for longer and with greater effect than any other single living figure. He begins his account on that September 11th morning, but then leaps back to his childhood, and follows the arc of his remarkable life’s journey through to his more than 18-year tenure as Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, from 1987 to 2006, during a time of transforming change. THE AGE OF TURBULENCE will stand as Alan Greenspan’s personal and intellectual legacy and will be embargoed until September 17th, 2007.
