　　Praise For PANDERER TO POWER

  “We all owe a great debt to Fred Sheehan. Fred demolishes themyth of Alan Greenspan’s omniscience, while revealing the dangerouscredulity of those who set him on a pedestal above the rest of us.Panderer to Power will be invaluable in making the case for how wemight preserve our solvency and our system.”

  Seth A. Klarman, president, Baupost Group, L.L.C.

  “Many have written about the man who used to be called ‘Maestro.’But none has done so with such clarity of perception as FrederickSheehan. Between the covers of this timely and important book, theformer Fed chairman stands revealed as America’s own Wizard ofOz.”

  James Grant, editor, Grant’s Interest Rate Observer

  “The Fed, Greenspan’s Fed, not only supplied the whiskey for theparty, it led the charge for irresponsible behavior by essentiallytelling people ‘don’t worry, be happy.’ A thorough, in-depth lookat the man who wrought so much damage on so many, this brillianteffort by Fred Sheehan is a major step in setting the recordstraight on this era.”

  Bill Fleckenstein, president, Fleckenstein Capital and co-author,Greenspan’s Bubbles

  “Fred Sheehan vividly shows in his excellent and long overdueaccount, the devastating monetary policies the Fed has pursuedunder Mr. Greenspan, which have been continued by Mr. Bernanke.After reading Panderer to Power, you will have no respect for theU.S. Federal Reserve Board, politicians, and Wall Street.”

  Marc Faber, editor, Gloom, Doom and Boom Report

  "An important part of Sheehan's book is Greenspan’s role inexpanding this country’s monetary base far behind our means.”

  --Boston Business Journal, November 2009

  "This well written, though obviously polemic, text documents theissues as he sees them. When read in conjunction with Greenspan’sown biography, a picture emerges of a complex, obviously smart manwho may have been promoted to a position beyond his competence, butwas expert at covering up and obfuscation."

  --Troy Media, November 2009

  About the Book:

  Alan Greenspan’s 18-year stint as head of the Federal ReserveBank witnessed some of the most massive upward redistributions ofwealth in our nation’s history. It’s now clear that his policiescontributed greatly to the transformation of Wall Street from anengine that financed American business to a business-destroyingmachine—and that Greenspan abetted the hollowing out of the U.S.economy by giving Wall Street and Washington everything they couldpossibly want.

  To take the full measure of Greenspan’s culpability, we need tolook beyond the disgraced public persona and see him within thebroader sweep of his life and times. In Panderer to Power, authorFrederick J. Sheehan delivers the first in-depth, criticalbiography of the man who, for nearly two decades, served as theworld’s most powerful banker.

  Beginning with Greenspan’s formative years as a Depression-erakid from New York City, Sheehan traces his subject’s progress fromhis days touring America as a reed man with the Henry JeromeOrchestra in the 1940s through his emergence as one of America’sfirst celebrity economists to his ascent through the ranks of powerin D.C.

  What emerges is a searing portrait of a shameless media hound whoferociously promoted his image as a straight-laced numberscruncher, a Machiavelli whose political skills far surpassed hisskills as an economist.

  Drawing upon a vast array of original sources, the author leaveslittle room for doubt: either the “economic genius of our time” wasoblivious to the hazards of his irresponsible policy decisions orhe knew full well what he was doing, but chose, as he hadthroughout his career, to put self-interest above the publicgood. 　　Frederick J. Sheehan is a former director ofasset allocation services at John Hancock Financial Services andthe coauthor of the critically acclaimed Greenspan’sBubbles. He has written for Marc Faber’s Gloom, Boom & DoomReport, Whiskey & Gunpowder, and the Prudent Bear Web sites. Heserves as an advisor to investment firms and endowments.
