Rating:  - Better than the election debates
This guy breathes economics and shares several thoughtful insights into how the global economy is affecting American politics. Pair this book with The Power of Productivity and you'll definitely have a better picture of how the world works.

Rating: - Highly recommended to everybody involved in economics, business, investment and finance

The ex Federal Reserve Bank chairman Mr. Alan Greenspan is one of those rare individuals. No doubt he has great wisdom , theoretical and practical knowledge of world economics, business, investment , finance and politics. But more important he very clearly explains these topics in his masterpiece called The Age of Turbulence not only to the general public not specialized in ... Read More
