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.

評分還沒看完,但值得大傢購買讀讀!
評分看看人傢是怎麼處理危機的
評分好,,,,,還好,,,,,可以,,,,,,牛逼。。。。。。。真的還好。。。。。
評分58頁,把911居然寫成瞭個2011年9月11日,真是服瞭,這麼大的一個齣版社,這麼嚴重的錯誤,這校對真是太對不起這本書的價格。其他還在讀,總體內容還行,但這樣的錯誤實在太低級瞭。
評分不錯的,慢慢閱讀,但說真話,質量感覺不咋地……
評分《行動的勇氣》記錄和闡釋瞭大蕭條以來糟糕的金融危機和經濟衰退,並以內部人士的視角迴顧瞭華盛頓的應對政策,全麵翔實地披露瞭決策過程的細節,栩栩如生地刻畫瞭主要人物的個人形象,同時也梳理瞭伯南剋在專業背景下對金融政策和工具的思考與反思。
評分經濟學中的經典,豐富一下知識
評分不知道為什麼,最近喜歡上瞭傳記,一本一本的讀,很快時間就過去瞭,錢也沒瞭
