En La era de las turbulencias, Alan Greenspan hace recuento de su vida y sus experiencias laborales, reconoce que la guerra de Irak tiene que ver con el petróleo y alude a temas candentes de la economÃa contemporánea, como la burbuja inmobiliaria. / In the immediate aftermath of September 11, 2001, in his fourteenth year as Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, Alan Greenspan took part in a very quiet collective effort to ensure that America didn't experience an economic meltdown, taking the rest of the world with it. There was good reason to fear the worst: the stock market crash of October 1987, his first major crisis as Federal Reserve Chairman, coming just weeks after he assumed control, had come much closer than is even today generally known to freezing the financial system and triggering a genuine financial panic. But the most remarkable thing that happened to the economy after 9/11 was...nothing. What in an earlier day would have meant a crippling shock to the system was absorbed astonishingly quickly.

About the Author
Alan Greenspan (Nueva York, 1926) fue presidente de la Reserva Federal de EE.UU. entre 1987 y 2006. Obtuvo el bachillerato en economÃa en 1948, la maestrÃa en economÃa en 1950 y su doctorado en economÃa en 1977, todos por la Universidad de Nueva York. En 1968 Greenspan se convirtió en asesor en economÃa del entonces candidato Richard Nixon, pero Greenspan no confiaba en Nixon, y se distanció aún más de él cuando Nixon inició su polÃtica de control de precios y salarios, que horrorizó a Greenspan. Fue presidente de la Reserva Federal desde el 11 de agosto de 1987 hasta el 1 de febrero de 2006. Fue nominado al puesto por los presidentes Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton y George W. Bush. Sólo William McChesney Martin Jr. ha sido el presidente de la Reserva Federal durante más tiempo que Greenspan, permaneciendo en el cargo casi 18 años y diez meses entre 1951 y 1970.
