Greenspan » (Spanish Language Edition)

A rookie reporter at The Washington Post when he got the call about a break-in at the Watergate in 1972, Bob Woodward has become synonymous with the term "investigative reporter."

Uno de los secretos mejor guardados del pentágono es, quizá, la forma de actuar de la Reserva Federal y de su enigmático presidente, Alan Greenspan, cuyas decisiones determinan el desarrollo de la economía mundial. Bob Woodward explora en Greenspan la compleja personalidad de uno de los hombres más poderosos del mundo. En este biografía, aparece retratado con más detalle que nunca, alternativamente nervioso y tranquilo, escéptico, desapasionado, cerebral, en liza constante...y a menudo solo. A través de un discurso cautivador, Greenspan traza la fascinante trayectoria intelectual de un maestro de las matemáticas y la política que se ha convertido en el símbolo de la preeminencia económica de Estados Unidos y que parece insustituible para todos sus presidentes.

Perhaps the last Washington secret is how the Federal Reserve and its enigmatic chairman, Alan Greenspan, operate. In Maestro, Bob Woodward uses his proven interviewing and research techniques to take you inside the Fed and Greenspan's thinking. We listen to the Fed's internal debates as the American economy is pushed into a historic ten-year expansion while the world economy lurches from financial crisis to financial crisis. Greenspan plays a sometimes subtle, sometimes blunt behind-the-scenes role. He appears in Greenspan up close as never before -- alternatively nervous and calm, plunging into mathematics one moment and politics the next, sceptical, dispassionate, always struggling, and often alone.

Presenting a gripping narrative, Greenspan traces a fascinating intellectual journey of a mathematical and political genius who has become the symbol of American preeminence, seemingly irreplaceable to its presidents.
