Features: For the first time, here is the full and fascinating life story of the most unlikely of celebrities, the soft-spoken economist who became the much-heralded Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board. Justin, a former Fortune magazine staff writer, recounts the series of crises faced by Greenspan during his eventful four terms running the Fed. Relying on exclusive interviews with friends and colleagues, Martin so reconstructs Greenspan's hard-scrabble childhood, years spent in the inner circle of controversial author Ayn Rand, his youthful days as a jazz clarinetist, and the intellectual and philosophical transformation that led to his position of awesome power.
