At the Top of His Game

If you want to know the mind of Alan Greenspan, you might start with this: Before he entered public life in the 1970s, all his top deputies at his flourishing economic consulting firm were women. "It just made great business sense,"he writes with the unexpectedly sunny wonkiness that pervades much of his memoir, The Age of Turbulence. "I valued men and women equally, and found that because other employers did not,good women economists were less expensive than men."
