Recommendation

If your view of Alan Greenspan is one of a humorless, pin-striped central banker, Jerome Tuccille has someone he’d like to introduce you to: Alan Greenspan, the jazz musician, libertarian philosopher and wooer of media princesses. In this lively and engaging book, Tuccille weaves together Greenspan’s biography, a colorful history of the times and an analysis of political and economic philosophy. Of special note is the book’s detailed look at how the thinking of Ayn Rand influenced Greenspan. getAbstract.com strongly recommends this book for such intellectual fare, as well as its juicer tidbits - like Greenspan’s torrid fling with Barbara Walters.

Take-Aways

  • Alan Greenspan became an economist after flirting with a career as a jazz musician.
  • As an economist, he developed an early commitment to controlling inflation.
  • Greenspan has been an active member of Ayn Rand’s Objectivist group.
