Greenspan

I recently began reading "The Age of Turbulence: Adventures in a New World " by Alan Greenspan.

This book is a bit of departure from my regular fare; "1776" and "John Adams" by McCullough, "Founding Brothers" and "His Execellency: George Washington" by Joseph J. Ellis, "Alexander Hamilton" by Ron Chernow ... (the list goes on)

Anyway, being into U.S. history as I am, this book is chock-full of references to people I've heard of, and although I prefer my history aged, I can't help but be compelled.

An example is Greenspan mentions folks like Paul Volker over to Ayn Rand; Richard Nixon to Bill Clinton.

Check it out if you have a bit of time on your hands.
