Dear Mr. Greenspan,
I wanted to drop you a quick post to let you know how much I enjoyed The Age of Turbulence. Twenty five years ago on the way to Bermuda with my new bride Barbara for our honeymoon I happened to pickup Milton Freidman’s then recently released Free to Choose. I can’t say it was the most exciting thing I did on my honeymoon but thanks to Milton’s I, Pencil story I did begin married life with a working knowledge of a free market economy.
As fate would have it 25 years later in the midst of celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary The Age of Turbulence was released. Well, having not read a book by an economist in 25 years I thought it was time to update my knowledge of the of the economy. After reading your book I’m relieved to know that in spite of the new world order the mechanics of our economy haven't changed all the much. The “invisible hand” is still at work and with some help from the Fed now and then our free market economy continues to move forward.
Therefore I’m thinking that it’s safe to wait another 25 years for my 50th wedding anniversary to roll around before partaking of my next installment. By then hopefully someone of your caliber will have emerged.
