Like all of us, though few so visibly, Alan Greenspan was forced by the financial crisis of 2008 to question some fundamental assumptions about risk management and economic forecasting. How had our models so utterly failed us?
Virtually every day, we make wagers on the future - but, even when we're not driven by factors entirely beyond our conscious control, the maps by which we are steering are often out-of-date. The Map and the Territory is an important attempt to update our forecasting conceptual grid using twenty-first-century technologies, offering a lucid and empirical grounding in what we can know about economic forecasting and what we can't.

Praise for The Age of Turbulence:
'First rate ... The Age of Turbulence is intelligent in a way that few popular books on economics manage or even try to be ... an enjoyable read' Economist
'Revealing and penetrating' Sunday Times
'Unexpectedly charming, surprisingly frank ... The charm of Greenspan's book is its self-portrait ... the result is one of the more interesting characters in the history of our democracy' The New York Times
'Entertaining and insightful ... Greenspan is an oracle smart enough to know what he doesn't know ... such humility, coming from someone as powerful as Alan Greenspan, is disarmingly refreshing, as is this interesting and edifying book' Boston Globe
'Greenspan's voice is unique ... the stories are wonderful' Los Angeles Times
