The Man Who Knew: The Life and Times of Alan Greenspan is a biography of the former Chairman of the Federal Reserve Alan Greenspan, written by Council on Foreign Relations Senior Fellow Sebastian Mallaby. [1] It was published in 2016 by Bloomsbury Press.
In the book, Mallaby addresses questions about Greenspan that emerged during the 2008 financial crisis. "Mr. Greenspan is a fascinating subject because for so long he was considered a genius, only to later be blamed for the financial crisis," wrote Andrew Ross Sorkin, reviewing the book in the New York Times . "Mr. Mallaby does an exquisite job going beyond these two versions of the Greenspan narrative and taking the reader inside the complicated mind of a man who may have had one of the largest ever influences over our economy." [2]
The Man Who Knew won the 2016 Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award, [3] was named a New York Times Notable Book of 2016, [4] a Foreign Affairs Best Book of 2016, [5] and an Economist Book of the Year. [6]
