Product Description
Ben Bernanke's swearing in as Federal Reserve chairman in 2006 marked the end of Alan Greenspan's long, legendary career. To date, the new chair has garnered mixed reviews. Business economists see him as the best-qualified successor to Greenspan, while many traders and investors worry that he's too academic for the job. Meanwhile, ordinary Americans do not even know who he is. How will Bernanke's leadership affect the Fed's actions in the coming years? How will Bernanke build on Greenspan's success, but also put his own stamp on the Fed? What will all this imply for businesses and investors? In Ben Bernanke's Fed, Ethan Harris provides exceptional insights into these crucial issues. Engaging and discerning, this book demystifies the man who has stepped into what many describe as the second most powerful job in America.

Bernanke and the Fed October 26, 2008
L. Demar (New York, NY)
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is certainly an excellent book for Fed watchers as well as for novices who would like to understand how the Fed works, the scope of its powers, and how they has been used well and not so well over the years. More importantly it is an extremely timely book for the present financial crisis. The author's evaluations of Greenspan and Bernanke are evenhanded but do seem in part, at least, to explain how we've gotten to where we are and that the choice of Bernanke may be reassuring in these difficult times.
