Alan Greenspan - Sosok Dibalik Gejolak Ekonomi Dunia

Alan Greenspan - Sosok Dibalik Gejolak Ekonomi Dunia (exe)
Alan Greenspan kali pertama ditunjuk sebagai Ketua Dewan Gubernur Bank Sentral AS, atau Federal Reserve (The Fed) pada pemerintahan Presiden Ronald Reagan.

Berkat kepiawaian dan keakuratannya dalam membuat kebijakan moneter, Greenspan mempertahankan jabatan ketua Bank Sentral AS hingga empat kali periode, tanpa terpengaruh presiden AS yang terus berganti.

Catatan prestasi Greenspan yang menonjol antara lain keberhasilannya menangani krisis pasar saham Black Monday, meledaknya bisnis internet dot-com, gelembung pasar saham bulan Maret 2000, dan resesi akhir tahun 2000, tahun 2002, dan peristiwa-peristiwa pasar terkini.

Analisis yang tajam dan akurat dalam kebijakan moneter, membuat setiap langkahnya diperhitungkan dan ditunggu-tunggu semua pihak. Hingga ada joke di kalangan pasar dunia, suara batuk Greenspan saja bisa memengaruhi gejolak ekonomi dunia.

Sejak Greenspan menjabat ketua Bank Sentral AS, setiap pengumumannya selalu diliput media cetak dan elektronik. Bahkan stasiun televisi menyiarkan langsung detik-detik pengumuman kebijakannya—persis seperti peluncuran pesawat antariksa, di layar televisi terlihat hitungan mundur jam, detik demi detik, hingga tiba saatnya pengumumannya.

Buku ini mengupas tuntas liku-liku dan sepak terjang Alan Greenspan menjadi ketua Bank Sentral AS.

Bagaimana konflik dan intrik pembuatan keputusan Bank Sentral AS? Bagaimana pemikiran Greenspan? Syahdan, sebagai bangsa yang bijak, seharusnya para ekonom Indonesia bisa belajar banyak dari sosok Alan Greenspan dalam mengeluarkan kita dari krisis ekonomi yang berkepanjangan ini.

“Jika Anda ingin tahu siapa salah seorang yang membuat ekonomi dunia berguncang, baca buku ini.” —The New York Times

“Greenspan bak maestro di sebuah pertunjukan orkestra…piawai dan tepat.” —The Washington Post

The Big Book of Conspiracies

The Big Book of Conspiracies

 In the past, I would roll my rapidly glazing eyes whenever I heard some formerly sensible person carrying the cudgels of conspiracy theories: you know the rants: the Trilateral Commission, CIA, FBI, Masons, and Secret Societies are all out to run the world and silence truth seekers with intimidation, death--or plankton up the nostrils--and it seems the body formerly inhabited by a friend is ready to board a ship to the moon. But then I came across this book, and I was stunned at the volume of detail and even facts that have been amassed by the obsessive believers in these seemingly wacko conspiracy theories. The most disturbing fact is that people investigating conspiracy theories seem to have the highest death rate of any profession other than shark dentists.The editors adopt a sensible attitude: they do not claim that any interpretations in the book are necessarily true, but rather that these are truly things that conspiracy theorists have proposed. Note that this is a comic book of 39 tellings of almost as many conspiracy theories, but the comic-book medium in fact works very well. Recommended, unless some gruff voice calls me late at night and tells me to change my mind.

The Encyclopedia of Conspiracies and Conspiracy Theories Michael Newton

The Encyclopedia of Conspiracies

 Conspiracies and conspiracy theories, both documented and undocumented, abound in our world. Many of these, even though documented, are only theoretical and not actual fact, and as author Newton states, "some are absurd, transparently ridiculous, or even physically impossible." However, they certainly make for fascinating reading.

This volume's 500-plus entries are arranged alphabetically and encompass people; conspiratorial organizations and movements; nations involved in conspiracies; specific events; and general essays on social, political, or religious movements. The selection of topics represents what Newton considers "significant" conspiracy and conspiracy theories--that is, those that affect large numbers of people or inspire widespread interest. Entries are typically one-half to three and one-half pages in length. Names or terms in small caps within an entry refer to subjects with their own entries. The volume contains more than 80 black-and-white photographs. The 200 or so listings in the bibliography are limited to sources published or translated in the English language.

Topics include those one would expect to find: Alien abductions, Holocaust and Holocaust denial, Iran-Contra conspiracy, Oklahoma City bombing, and UFOs. Treating less-familiar theories are Barbie dolls, Suppressed inventions, and Undead outlaws. There are also entries on police departments from several major cities, such as Chicago and L.A. In addition to John F. Kennedy, other presidents have entries--for example, both Bushes, Clinton, Johnson, Lincoln, Nixon, and Washington.

Many entries overlap with those in the more scholarly Conspiracy Theories in American History: An Encyclopedia (ABC-CLIO, 2003). However, several subjects in the volume under review are not in the 2003 publication (e.g., Apollo project; Enron; Silkwood, Karen; Simpson, O. J.; USA Patriot Act). With their different scopes, both works would be a great addition to a library's collection.
