Acknowledgments
A Note on Sources
Index

“The most unexpectedly charming Washington insider memoir since Katharine Graham’s a decade ago.”
—Michael Kinsley, The New York Times Book Review

“ Entertaining and insightful . . . [Greenspan] is an oracle smart enough to know what he doesn’t know. . . . Such humility, coming from someone as powerful as Alan Greenspan, is disarmingly refreshing, as is this interesting and edifying book.”
The Boston Globe

“ [Readers] will find that Greenspan’s well-informed musings offer much more food for thought than the usual Washington memoir.”
BusinessWeek

“ With his book, [Greenspan] finally lets us know what he’s thinking. . . . surprisingly frank . . . downright entertaining.”
—David Leonhardt, The New York Times

“ First rate . . . [The Age of Turbulence] is intelligent in a way that few popular books on economics manage or even try to be . . . An enjoyable read.”
The Economist
