The extraordinary life story of the former chairman of the Federal Reserve, whose absolute integrity provides the inspiration we need as our constitutional system and political tradition are being tested to the breaking point.
As chairman of the Federal Reserve (1979-1987), Paul Volcker slayed the inflation dragon that was consuming the American economy and restored the world's faith in central bankers. That extraordinary feat was just one pivotal episode in a decades-long career serving six presidents.
Told with wit, humor, and down-to-earth erudition, the narrative of Volcker's career illuminates the changes that have taken place in American life, government, and the economy since World War II. He vibrantly illustrates the crises he managed alongside the world's leading politicians, central bankers, and financiers. Yet he first found his model for competent and ethical governance in his father, the town manager of Teaneck, NJ, who instilled Volcker's dedication to absolute integrity and his "three verities" of stable prices, sound finance, and good government.

保罗沃克尔的临终箴言

《坚定不移》是在读完《时运变迁》之后阅读的,两本书建议可以一起读。《时运变迁》是保罗沃克尔和行天丰雄1991在普林斯顿大学研讨会上的讲座合集,时间更接近书中主要描述的时代(1970-1990年),口语化的文字有更多细节和趣味性。《坚定不移》则是保罗沃克尔在90岁高龄完成的... (展开)从沃尔克自传看当今美国乃至世界的问题

和金融危机的几位当权者的作品比起来,更平淡一些,作者详细阐述了自己在公共事务中奉献的一生,呼吁政府和监管部门的改变。。。原来川普接手的是一个烂摊子呀

沃尔克无疑是具有高度公共服务精神的美国人,任联储主席期间在华盛顿独自租一居室要女儿帮助洗衣服让人对其清廉印象深刻。但这本书作为回忆录写得很一般。也许是谦逊的缘故,这本书有点惜墨如金,很多大事,如布雷顿森林体系的解体、战胜通胀,都是聊聊几笔就过去了,浑不如后面两任行长的自我吹嘘。要对这些事件有更多了解,不如去读他90年代写的Changing Fortunes,尽管那本书也写成了流水账。这或许也跟沃尔... 沃尔克无疑是具有高度公共服务精神的美国人,任联储主席期间在华盛顿独自租一居室要女儿帮助洗衣服让人对其清廉印象深刻。但这本书作为回忆录写得很一般。也许是谦逊的缘故,这本书有点惜墨如金,很多大事,如布雷顿森林体系的解体、战胜通胀,都是聊聊几笔就过去了,浑不如后面两任行长的自我吹嘘。要对这些事件有更多了解,不如去读他90年代写的Changing Fortunes,尽管那本书也写成了流水账。这或许也跟沃尔克大部分生涯都在公共部门,习惯于公文有关。大概现实就是如此,不外官僚主义的繁文缛节和各种博弈。第十六章关于通胀的警告言犹在耳,已是一语成谶。 (展开)

2022的我们刚进入高通胀,对于很多人可能是第一次经历这样的环境。这本书也许可以提供一些历史背景。Paul Volcker 带领美联储通过制造剧烈的衰退来战胜1970s的双位数增长的高通胀,这种决断、气魄、独立在今天可能很难看到。书里也讲了很多他从美联储退休后的经历和任职,是一位正直和严谨的公职人员!

Volcker晚年对自己生活和事业的回忆录,关于1970年加息的细节更像是一个流水账而没有什么economic analysis,不过最后两章还是值得一读
