R. Anthony said A book for the times. THE MAN WHO KNEW is the perfect book for this time in our country's history. Mr. Mallaby's book is a thorough review of the Fed System, including FOMC deliberations, the materiality of politics that impact Fed decisions and the politics of arm twisting that are so prevalent in this arena.What makes this book so ve.

I enjoyed it equally as well.It's rather clear Greenspan's brilliance and desire for greatness led him to his chairmanship of the Federal Reserve. But his core beliefs as refined by Rand never allowed him to get beyond his central conflict. This libertarian had to wrestle daily w
Mallaby's story lands with both feet on the great crash which did so much to damage Alan Greenspan's reputation. Bush--in a whole new light. A fire-breathing libertarian and disciple of Ayn Rand in his youth who once called the Fed's creation a historic mistake, Mallaby shows how Greenspan reinvented himself as a pragmatist once in power. He had pressed for greater regulation of some key areas of finance over the years, and had gotten nowhere. A close reading of Greenspan's life provides fascinating answers to these questions, answers whose lessons we would do well to heed. The story of Greenspan is also the story of the making of modern finance, for good and for ill. Greenspan's life is a quintessential American success story: raised by a single mother in the Jewish émigré community of Washington Heights, he was a math prodigy who found a niche as a stats-crunching consultant. This led to a perch on the White House Council of Economic Advisers, and then to a dazzling array of business and government rol
And as he leads us through the passages of Greenspan’s life, Mallaby takes us on a tour of the sizzling financial dramas and of the great intellectual debates of the postwar years, from the inflation agonies of Gerald Ford to the mortgage bubble of the early 2000s. The Man Who Knew is a courageous book, for it reckons with Greenspan’s shortcomings with unbridled honesty.
