How Alan Greenspan conducts the economy.
On eight Tuesdays each year, Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan convenes a small committee to set the short term interest rate that can move through the American and world economies like an electric jolt. As much as any, the committee's actions determine the economic well being of very American. The availability of money for business or consumer loans, mortgages, job creation and overall national economic growth all flows from those decisions.
Bob Woodward uses his exhaustive investigative technique to reveal the ideas and the politics that have changed the lives of many Americans and established the United States as the world's preeminent power. He shows why we are here. How it all might have been different. And when and why it might end.
