Before the Storm
by Rick Perlstein
A bold and astute narrative history of conservatism's climb and one of the best-reviewed books of 2001. Rick Perlstein's Before the Storm tells the story of the rise of the conservative movement in the liberal 1960s -- a story that, until this book, had never been told. The figure at the heart of the story is, of course, Barry Goldwater, the handsome renegade Republican from Arizona who loathed the federal government, despised liberals on sight, and mocked "peaceful coexistence" with the USSR. But Perlstein's narrative shines a light on a whole world of conservatives and their antagonists, including William F. Buckley, Nelson Rockefeller, and Bill Moyers. Vividly and thrillingly written, Before the Storm is already recognized as an essential book about the 1960s.

Maestro: Greenspan's Fed and the American Boom
Bob Woodward
Simon & Schuster , 2000. Hardcover. Very Good. GREAT BOOK! MILD WEAR ON DUSTJACKET, LIGHTLY AGED PAGES, NO MARKINGS. The Barnes & Noble Review: During the 2000 Republican primary campaign, Senator John McCain promised that if elected president, he would not only reappoint Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan; McCain added, "If he were to happen to die, God forbid, I would do like they did in the movie Weekend at Bernie's. I would prop him up and put a pair of dark glasses on him." McCain's implication was that Greenspan's mere presence at the head of the nation's central bank inspires investor confidence and fuels economic growth. While it's true that Greenspan has become identified with economic growth, he is no mere figurehead. As Bob Woodward reveals in his new book, Maestro: Greenspan's Fed and the American Boom, Greenspan's forceful, sometimes authoritarian, leadership of the Federal Open Market Committee, the ten-member board that sets short-term interest rates, has profoundly influenced the path of economic growth over the past 13 years. Maestro is not a biography of Greenspan so much as a history of the economy and markets during the period of his stewardship. The book's tentative working title was Boom, and the book focuses on how Greenspan engineered the great U.S. economic resurgence of the 1990s. In researching his book, Woodward interviewed not only Greenspan but nearly every important member of Washington's economic elite. The testimonies of people like Alice Rivlin, Robert Rubin, and Lawrence Summers lend weight to his analyses. And though Woodward is a journalist, not an economist, he has a strong grasp of economic theory and terminology. This proves both a strength and a weakness, as certain passages are often hard to understand, even for someone who has studied economics. However, for the most part, Woodward is very good at translating economic jargon into clear journalistic prose. The most interesting sections of the book concern the major crises that Greenspan has faced as Fed chairman. His responses to these challenges reveal that he is not as pro-free-market as he is sometimes portrayed. After the 1987 market crash, for example, he authorized the Fed to act as a guarantor on private-sector loans to avert a string of potentially disastrous defaults. He also encouraged Treasury Secretary Rubin to use U.S. funds to bail out the troubled Mexican government in 1995. And when the effects of the Asian collapse hit U.S. markets, he actively supported the bail-out of a major hedge fund, lest its collapse cause a general market crash. Each of these controversial actions had its detractors, but one of the strongest themes of Woodward's book is Greenspan's commitment to his convictions even in the face of opposition. And time has proven that Greenspan's convictions are usually right. Laura Beers ISBN: 0743204123. ( more information) Offered by Bizarre Books & Music (United States)

Maestro: Greenspan's Fed and the American Boom
Woodward, Bob
New York: Simon & Schuster Adult Publishing Group. Fine in Fine dust jacket 2000. First Edition. Hardcover. Marfree, acidfree F/Fine 1stEd; not marked-in, clearance or discard. Usually mails within 12 hours. ; 6.5 x 9.5 in.; 270 pages; Online Rev. : Bob Woodward called his biography of Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan Maestro for two reasons. First, Greenspan is a musician. He started out as a Julliard-trained jazz sax man. "He wasn't a good improviser, " Woodward reports. And while the other guys got stoned all night, Greenspan "read economics and business books and eventually became the band's bookkeeper. " He also cultivated powerful pals, like Ayn Rand, whose coterie dubbed the dour young man "The Undertaker. " More profoundly, Greenspan is a maestro, a conductor, exquisitely attuned to every instrument in the political and economic orchestra. He rules by consensus, but with a firm hand and notoriously inscrutable words. Marvelously, Woodward relates that Greenspan had to propose twice to his wife, the violinist-turned-TV news star Andrea Mitchell, before she understood: "His verbal obscurity and caution were so ingrained that Mitchell didn't even know that he had asked her to marry him. " Woodward gives us the inside story of what Greenspan really thinks and how he outmaneuvered the most ruthless politicians on earth in some of the hairiest times imaginable, from the 1987 stock market crash to the 1994-95 Mexican crisis to the stomach-churning turn of the century. It turns out that for all his awesome knowledge of monetary minutiae, the Fed chief literally relies on "a pain in the pit of my stomach" to make decisions. "At times, he found his body sensed danger before his head, " writes Woodward. The Fed chief also adapts Einstein's technique to economics, hunting for discrepancies as keys to deeper theories. Einstein made breakthroughs out of bent light; Greenspan deduced productivity gains that government statisticians had overlooked for years. (The gains appeared when Greenspan made the statisticians calculate productivity by business sector, the way it's done in the real world. ) Woodward's prose is cool and rational, not exuberant. But if you're into economics and politics, you'll find a rich gossip trove here. Who knew Reagan had a draft of a presidentia l order to shut down Wall Street trading at hand in 1987? Scary! Reading Maestro is better than sitting with Greenspan in his famous tub as he charts your future--it's like being right there inside his head. --Tim Appelo From Library Journal Either Federal Reserve chair Alan Greenspan has had an amazingly long run of remarkably good luck, or he knows what he's doing and really is what most observers believe him to be, the maestro of the rock-solid prospering American economy. Washington Post reporter Woodward of Watergate fame attempts to write an incisive biography, and yet Greenspan remains an elusive and enigmatic figure. Early in his adulthood he was a devotee of Ayn Rand and once briefly attended Juilliard; he is famed for his elliptical language, and if he gets too explicit, the market strengthens or weakens depending on the direction of his words. Descriptions of such behavior are presented by the author, but, unfortunately for listening excitement, Greenspan is neither flamboyant nor given to spectacular intrigue. Much of the book, of course, deals with meetings of the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee which makes headlines whenever it raises or lowers an interest rate. The chairman is evidently very good at prodding, cajoling, and just plain reasoning with the Board of Governors until most of them see things his way. James Naughton has a grave, matter-of-fact approach, and it is always nice to hear the recognizable voice of Woodward himself as he closes the presentation. Recommended for collections dealing with modern politics and financial institutions. Don Wismer, Cary Memorial Lib. , Wayne, ME Copyright 2001 Reed .
