The Age of Turbulence: Adventures in a New World

I picked this book expecting intellectual economic/political insight from "the Chairman" of the Fed. What I am found instead were experiences and views of "Alan Greenspan-the person". Very different from what I was looking for but interesting nevertheless.

The best part of the book: simple language and experiences candidly told- he decided to study further after getting appreciation on helping his sax band members with their income tax filings (yes! once upon a time he played the sax as a profession) , how he got along with Clinton and not so much with Bush. At his position one meets many "high profile" persons and bumps into unique/tough times ever so often. He talks about these with ease.

Read it like a story and its fun. Don't expect any serious insights into the "what next" of the world economy. Wish there were some more pictures though!
