Book Reviews of Bubble Man: Alan Greenspan and the Missing 7 Trillion Dollars

Book Review: Bubble Man: Greenspan and the Missing 7 Trillion Dollars
Summary: 5 Stars

Great Book! It show how the American people were totally naive on allowing this so called hero of the American Tech Boom and Housing Bubble to be allowed to destroy the American dollar and thus the entire economy. Not only did he create those bubbles he had the audacity in his book to fail to admit that he is the one responsible for what is happening to the dollar today. The man can't address the truth and refuses to take responsibility for what he did during his nineteen years as the head of the Fed. This book should (hopefully) open the eyes of his adoring followers to see what this man is really like. He is totally delusional and ignorant of economics. To think he was a follower of Ayn Rand and a gold advocate in the 1960s is beyond understanding. If you look at his picture I think anyone can see the hooks left in his lips from politicians leading him to do their bidding. History will not look favorably upon this man. GREAT BOOK! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT! It was very eye opening to me

Summary of Bubble Man: Alan Greenspan and the Missing 7 Trillion Dollars

The destructive legacy of the most powerful man in the world: Alan Greenspan, chairman of the Federal Reserve.

In this eye-opening account, Peter Hartcher reexamines the achievements of Alan Greenspan, the man who presided over the 1990s stock-market bubble-perhaps the biggest speculative frenzy in history-and walked away when it came crashing down, with his reputation apparently unscathed. The U.S. economy is still struggling with the fallout from Greenspan's tenure, which includes a bubble in housing prices, a rocky recovery, and a vast federal deficit. His mistakes live on, as does the question of what to do about bubbles.

Hartcher's careful investigation of the most financially expensive event in American history results in a gripping tale of failed leadership, excess, and the bizarre politics behind the world's most powerful economy.
