MCCLEAN, Va., Aug. 20 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- As part of its continuing mission to support its more than 500 venture capital professionals and to offer leading edge, topical programming to the region's business community, the Mid-Atlantic Venture Association (MAVA) is proud to partner with Politics and Prose to bring former Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board Alan Greenspan to Washington DC to speak about his views on globalization and its effect on the American economy.

In a September 19th, event co-sponsored by MAVA and Politics and Prose, Greenspan will speak at The George Washington University Lisner Auditorium. The event will be moderated by Pulitzer Prize winner and nationally recognized authority on energy policy and international politics and economics Daniel Yergin. The conversation will center on Greenspan's upcoming book, The Age of Turbulence, Adventures in a New World, as well as on the current turmoil in the public and global markets and the workings of the global economy in each of the major regions of the world.

"With more than $90 billion in capital under management, MAVA members are most definitely conducting business in a new global capitalist economy. We are proud to bring Alan Greenspan to speak to our members and business colleagues about his lessons learned from nearly two decades as the nation's Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board and to hear his views on how the underlying dynamics of economic globalization are driving business today," said Julia Spicer, Executive Director of MAVA.

Greenspan's September 19th visit to Lisner Auditorium will provide audience members with a chance to hear how one of America's leading economist views a new global economy that is more flexible, resilient, and fast-changing than ever before. It will offer a glimpse into the perspective that helped shape American business for much of the last two decades. With "The Age of Turbulence," set to be released on September 17th, Greenspan shines a spotlight on the new world order of economic globalization - how we got here, what we are living through, and what lies over the horizon. This spotlight is a reflection of his experience working as one of the leading players in the global economy for nearly 20 years.
