"How did a shy, gawky musical protege grow up to become the Delphic oracle of U.S. monetary policy and the most powerful banker in the world? In Alan Shrugged, bestselling biographer Jerome Tuccille examines the life of Alan Greenspan, identifies the defining incidents that shaped his career, and explores the major influences on his political and economic thinking.".
"The author draws on extensive interviews with Greenspan's closest friends and professional associates to reveal the surprisingly colorful, complex man behind the dour personage who often speaks in a language that few people understand. Tuccille creates a vivid portrait of an intense young man torn between his love of music and his fascination with math and economics.
He recounts Greenspan's days as a professional jazz musician and his painful realization that, as much as he loved music, he was born to be an economist."--BOOK JACKET.

Work Description
Power . . . Personality . . . Paradox When Alan Greenspan talks, Wall Street listens-as do bankers, investors, politicians, and economists throughout the world. He is the number one arbiter of U.S. monetary policy-credited, as Chairman of the Federal Reserve, with having simultaneously held inflation down and kept the economy growing throughout the longest and largest economic expansion in U.S. history. Yet, this Atlas of number crunchers, who owned and operated a highly successful Wall Street consulting firm, never amassed a personal fortune, was a member of the cultlike inner circle surrounding one of America's most controversial authors, and began his career as a professional jazz musician. Clearly, there is even more to Alan Greenspan than meets the eye. In Alan Shrugged, you'll meet Greenspan the public figure and Alan the private man in the most detailed, revealing, and entertaining account of Greenspan's ...
