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.

For Finance Nerds ONLY!

If you've ever been curious what it would be like to be in the chair of the Federal Reserve during a crisis, then this is the book for you. If you can't read through hundreds of pages of dry academic writing and data analysis, then it's probably not. I consider myself a finance nerd, but struggled getting through some parts of it. The summary is that the world economy almost went off a cliff, but Helicopter Ben (he hates that name) pulled the right levers to save us all. We learned a lot about how markets and economies react to new types of stimulus during these years, and various presidents claimed credit for saving the economy when, in reality, it was the Fed who probably deserved most of the credit. I'd say it's a book most people should read, but let's be honest -- most people won't understand it, or care enough to invest the time into cracking such a thick book. I was glad I got through it though, and was even more appreciative for the job that Bernanke did while Fed Chair once I knew the behind-the-scenes details.

Lots of details, but not as much insight as I'd like

2020年5月26日 - 已在美国亚马逊上发表

I gave this book 4 stars because it is a very detailed account of what happened during the Financial Crisis of 2007 - 2009 and its aftermath. We are given a behind the scenes account of the meetings, testimony, and back-and-forth between all the important players, especially in the US, during this time period. At points, the book almost feels like a log of Bernake's schedule.

There are a few insights that make this book worthwhile -- such as why the AIG bailout happened by Lehman was allowed to fail (turns out there were very complex legal, procedural, and pragmatic issues behind this, even though it was thought at the time that the government was arbitrarily picking winners and losers). There is also some insight into why the Fed began on a program of quantitative easing. We're also made to realize just how dysfunctional the financial oversight had been prior to the crisis, and how it continues to evolve today.

What this book will not do is help explain how monetary policy really works. I just wish he had included a few more diagrams explaining the machinery behind monetary policy operations, repo markets, CDOs etc. While these can be complex, I think Bernanke missed a golden opportunity to explain this to the public (a role that he cherished during his time as chairman and afterward... after all, he was a professor!). Funny enough, an explanation of the yield curve comes up almost 400+ pages into the book, even though it is central to so much of the policy.

All in all, the book does do a good job of giving a sense of the absolute calamity that had befallen the markets in that time period, how all the players were desperately seeking answers to fight one fire after another, and how close we acutally came to a much larger financial collapse than we knew.

I think it's a VERY good book, however

I think it's a VERY good book, however, I just want to get you all "heads up" that it can be somewhat textbookish. Dr. Bernanke is very very smart and he has sooo much information--and it would be a good idea to keep a dictionary handy (ha, ha)! I still haven't finished the third chapter yet bec ause a lot of this is new information to me and I'm wanting to kind of take this stuff slower and give myself more time to absorb it--it's college classroom material but I do really like it and it is really very interesting. I don't know how long it's going to take me to get through this book but I do really like it--I do think it is VERY interesting.

Non silo types of academics will love this book

2016年6月9日 - 已在美国亚马逊上发表

While this book is partly about economics, there is a substantial infusion of political science, sociology and psychology. Unlike the silo, one needs a broad, range of understanding to deal with the problems. Leadership is important, in the social sciences one can't reduce things to an equation. One needs a panel of people to arrive at effective decisions. Bernanke used his committees well, and was a major reason why we weren't in worse trouble than we were. In a way, it also sheds light on what is wanting in graduate education, where there is little attempt to foster broad ranges of understanding so that the problems can be dealt with.

Valuable information regarding the Great Recession. I had to put my "thinking cap" on while reading. Takes you thru the roller coaster of what was involved during crisis. So glad I got the chance to read. Glad we had Mr Bernanke during this time in our country's history. I'm a big fan.
