The Courage to Act

Jeni Enjaian

I found myself absolutely fascinated by this book. I absolutely love economics and how all of these things affect history and the lives of people "big" and "small." Bernanke does get a little bit "in the weeds" when it comes to the different financial policy maneuvers the Fed undertook throughout this time but he wrote about it fairly well and in an at least marginally understandable way for those with only a small amount of education in economics. I definitely enjoyed this book.
