Courage to Act: A Memoir of a Crisis and Its Aftermath by Ben S. Bernanke Book Summary

From the winner of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Economics
A New York Times Bestseller

“A fascinating account of the effort to save the world from another [Great Depression]. . . . Humanity should be grateful.”—Financial Times

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.

Sample?. Stupid sample does not give enough info to spend $17

Super Tome. An authoritative although sometimes dense step by step explanation about how an economic collapse worse than "The Great Depression" was avoided. Bernanke paints an in depth picture similar to Geithner's "Stress Test" although more thorough and enlightening. We were lucky to have people in place who had studied financial crises and had the confidence to take strong action without first trying all the alternatives that would not have worked. The book should be required background for leaders from all perspectives who aspire to sustain US prosperity and economic strength.

Sample. Poor sample indeed. To claim at restoring this country to a sound economy and being an example to follow? Wow. Successfully adding another floor to the house of cards is worth nothing more than an attaboy...on a personal level anyway. Still a calamity on our hands

Read a Sample??. The short forward and cover page hardly constitute a “sample.” Insufficient information to make a purchase.

TCA. Unbelievable read no matter what level of economic understanding you have. Bernanke's ability to depict and illustrate on all accounts truly lay out a very understandable memoir of the financial crisis of the early 2000's
