And precisely why does he say it? David Sicilia and Jeffrey Cruikshank, consultants and previous collaborators, do a formidable job of answering both questions by analyzing the chairman's own statements in The Greenspan Effect. The result is an insightful point-by-point assessment of the man and his enormous influence. From critical utterances like those in his famous "irrational exuberance" speech (which sank the markets after he delivered it in 1996) to uplifting phrases such as "oasis of prosperity" (which boosted them when he used it in 1998), they're all examined according to the way they affect and are affected by interest rates, inflation, labor, banking, global economies, and other factors. Perhaps most useful is the penultimate chapter, which offers 16 principles of Greenspanology, such as "It's always about interest rates" even though he "hardly ever talks about interest rates," designed to guide those who "navigate the often troubled waters onto which Greenspan pours his rhetorical oils, or into which he introduces new turbulence." --Howard Rothman

The authors challenge standard assumptions about the business corporation's emergence and performance in the United States over the past two centuries. Reviewing in depth the different theoretical and historiographical
traditions that have treated the corporation, the volume seeks a new departure that can more fully explain this crucial institution of capitalism. Rejecting assertions that the corporation is dead, the essays show that in fact it has survived and even thrived down to the present in part because of
the ways in which it has related to its social, political and cultural environment. In doing so, the book breaks with older explanations ground in technology and economics, and treats the corporation for the first time as a fully social institution. Drawing on a variety of social theories and
approaches, the essays help to point the way toward future studies of this powerful and enduring institution, offering a new periodization and a new set of questions for scholars to explore. The range of essays engages the legal and political position of the corporation, the ways in which the
corporation has been shaped by and shaped American culture, the controversies over corporate regulation and corporate power, and the efforts of minority and disadvantaged groups to gain access to the resources and opportunities that corporations control.]]> 439719 3.00 3 0 2004 4850338 0071382526 9780071382526 0 <![CDATA[The Greenspan Effect: Words That Move the World's Markets]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4850338.The_Greenspan_Effect_Words_That_Move_the_World_s_Markets 0.0 0 "[David Sicilia and Jeffrey Cruikshank] have done their homework on this fascinating economist.
