A New York Times Bestseller
An unrivaled look at the fight to save the American economy.
In 2006, Ben S. Bernanke was appointed chair of the Federal Reserve, the unexpected apex of a personal journey from small-town South Carolina to prestigious academic appointments and finally public service in Washington’s halls of power.
There would be no time to celebrate.
The bursting of a housing bubble in 2007 exposed the hidden vulnerabilities of the global financial system, bringing it to the brink of meltdown. From the implosion of the investment bank Bear Stearns to the unprecedented bailout of insurance giant AIG, efforts to arrest the financial contagion consumed Bernanke and his team at the Fed. Around the clock, they fought the crisis with every tool at their disposal to keep the United States and world economies afloat.
Working with two U.S. presidents, and under fire from a fractious Congress and a public incensed by behavior on Wall Street, the Fed―alongside colleagues in the Treasury Department―successfully stabilized a teetering financial system. With creativity and decisiveness, they prevented an economic collapse of unimaginable scale and went on to craft the unorthodox programs that would help revive the U.S. economy and become the model for other countries.
Rich with detail of the decision-making process in Washington and indelible portraits of the major players, The Courage to Act recounts and explains the worst financial crisis and economic slump in America since the Great Depression, providing an insider’s account of the policy response.

評分如何理解金融危機。京東商品質量一如既往的好,而且送貨非常快,贊一個。
評分單位建圖書室,所以一口氣買瞭很多書,這一批書到的都很快,唯一的缺點就是我要來報賬的發票明細費瞭十分大的勁兒纔集齊,還好沒有耽誤我最後報賬。但是我想說如果是單位購書,京東還應該再改進一下自己的服務。
評分還沒看完,但值得大傢購買讀讀!
評分想更多地瞭解那場金融危機,美聯儲主席是一個很好的角度。
評分老爸要看的書,一次多買幾本。
評分我為什麼喜歡在京東買東西,因為今天買明天就可以送到。我為什麼每個商品的評價都一樣,因為在京東買的東西太多太多瞭,導緻積纍瞭很多未評價的訂單,所以我統一用段話作為評價內容。京東購物這麼久,有買到很好的産品
