Watching Greenspan Grow

James K. Galbraith

A chapter in Unbearable Cost, 2006, pp 144-148 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract For those seeking a personal portrait of America’s maximum economic policymaker, Justin Martin’s biography will be hard to improve on. Informed and sympathetic, Martin traces the webs of Alan Greenspan’s personal and professional lives: his early days in jazz and Objectivism, his roots as an economist in the Conference Board and old-style business cycle studies of Arthur Burns, his ties to five Presidents and his liaisons and enduring friendships with interesting, intelligent, attractive and loyal women.
