| Sumario: | A crowd gathers. People crane their necks. Cameras flash. The limo door opens. Who is it--Mick Jagger? Oprah? Tiger Woods? No. It's Alan Greenspan--and the crowd still goes wild. Many felt Greenspan walked on water during his lengthy term as Chairman of the Federal Reserve System. But was he a genius or, as Tolstoy might portray him, simply someone who could manifest confidence while attempting to captain an uncontrollable ship? In this book, economist Leonard Santow casts a steely eye on the Fed and its five most recent chairmen--Arthur Burns, G. William Miller, Paul Volcker, Alan Greenspan. |
