This was like reading two different books. First half was pretty good. Covered his early years, briefly on his childhood, then on to his higher education, through his appointment as Fed Chairman. Interesting career up to that point, having associations with republican presidents all the way back to Richard Nixon. Mostly in an economic advisor capacity. After his appointment by Reagan we slip into another gear, as he becomes the nerd we all know. He's over my head from there on. Strictly Fedpseak with forecasts what turns the wheels of world economics. Seems to have a firm grip on all that, at least he can make you think he does. It's all out of control once something triggers a run on the markets.
Grade - C
