Alan Greenspan's short but happy blogging career


Alan GreenspanIf the idea of an Alan Greenspan blog doesn't get you excited, congratulations: You are much more likely to have success in romance than those of us who care about these sort of things.

To promote his upcoming book, The Age of Turbulence, Greenspan posted a blog post accessible on the Amazon.com page for the book, which drops September 17th. Here's a nice snippet, providing Greenspan's explanation for why he wrote the book:

There was also a personal story to tell. I'd known every president from Richard Nixon to Reagan, Ford, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. And what about all those other assorted characters from my childhood in New York, my years as a jazz musician, my complete career switch to economics – and my friendship with Ayn Rand? I wanted to make the leap from writing economic analysis to writing in the first person about what I'd experienced. And after years of talking "Fedspeak" in carefully calibrated congressional testimony – I could finally use my own voice!


But before you get too excited, The New York Times is reporting that the post was a one-shot deal. But if Mr. Greenspan ever wants to revive his blogging career, I'm sure we could make room for him at BloggingStocks.

He could be the next Perez Hilton.
