A former chair of the Federal Reserve explains the transformation of one our most powerful and consequential institutions

"Should be required reading for all policy makers.” —Warren Buffett From the three primary architects of the American policy response to the worst economic catastrophe since the Great Depression, a magnificent big-picture synthesis--from why it happened to where we are now. In 2018, Ben Bernanke, Tim Geithner, and Hank Paulson came together to reflect on the lessons of the 2008 financial crisis ten years on. Recognizing that, as Ben put it, "the enemy is forgetting," they examine the causes of the crisis, why it was so damaging, and what it ultimately took to prevent a second Great Depression. And they provide to their successors in the United States and the finance ministers and central bank governors of other countries a valuable playbook for reducing the damage from future financial crises. Firefighting provides a candid and powerful account of the choices they and their teams made during the crisis, working under two presidents and with the leaders of Congress.

2008 saw one of the worst financial crises in generations, the global implications of which are still being felt today. Ten years later Ben Bernanke, Timothy Geithner and Hank Paulson reflect on the causes of the crisis, why it was so damaging, and what it ultimately took to prevent a second Great Depression. All three had crucial roles in the government's response- Ben S. Bernanke as chairman of the Federal Reserve; Henry M. Paulson, Jr., as secretary of the Treasury under President George W. Bush; Timothy F. Geithner as president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York during the Bush years and then Treasury secretary under President Barack Obama. A powerful, warts and all account told with unprecedented clarity; from the flawed human response to the necessity to learn from the past and help firefighters of the future protect economies from the ravages of financial crises.Firefighting is a vital account of a defining moment in modern history and an inspiring lesson on leadership through crisis.

La política americana encaró el gran desastre. Un testimonio excepcional de la lucha por mantener a flote la economía mundial durante la gran recesión. En 2006, Ben S. Bernanke fue nombrado presidente de la Reserva Federal de Estados Unidos. No hubo demasiado tiempo para celebraciones: en 2007 estalló la burbuja inmobiliaria, dejando al descubierto las vulnerabilidades escondidas del sistema financiero global y llevándolo al borde de la catástrofe. Bernanke y su equipo de la Reserva Federal tuvieron que enfrentarse a la implosión del banco de inversiones Bear Sterns al rescate financiero del gigante de los seguros AIG y al consiguiente contagio financiero. Como responsable del banco central estadounidense, Bernanke convivió con dos presidentes del Gobierno distintos, trabajó entre el fuego cruzado de un Congreso a la contra y aguantó la presión de una opinión pública indignada por el comportamiento de Wall Street. Al cabo, el organismo que presidía, codo a codo con el departamento del Tesoro, consiguió estabilizar el titubeante sistema financiero. Con creatividad y decisión, evitaron un derrumbe de inimaginable escala y elaboraron los poco ortodoxos programas que ayudarían a reavivar la economía estadounidense y se convertirían en modelo para otros países. A partir de numerosísimas anécdotas sobre el proceso...

In 2012, Ben Bernanke, chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve, gave a series of lectures about the Federal Reserve and the 2008 financial crisis, as part of a course at George Washington University on the role of the Federal Reserve in the economy. He revealed important background and insights into the central bank's crucial actions during the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, and offers insight into the guiding principles behind the Fed's activities and the lessons to be learned from its handling of recent economic challenges.

In 2006, Ben S. Bernanke was appointed chair of the Federal Reserve, capping a meteoric trajectory from a rural South Carolina childhood to professorships at Stanford and Princeton, to public service in Washington's halls of power. There would be no time to celebrate, however -- the burst of the housing bubble in 2007 set off a domino effect that would bring the global financial system to the brink of meltdown. Here, Ben Bernanke pulls back the curtain on the tireless and ultimately successful efforts to prevent a mass economic failure. Working with two U.S. presidents and two Treasury secretaries, Dr. Bernanke and his colleagues used every Fed capability, no matter how arcane, to keep the U.S. economy afloat. From his arrival in Washington in 2002 and his experiences before the crisis, to the intense days and weeks of the crisis itself, and through the Great Recession that followed, Dr. Bernanke gives readers a unique perspective on the American economy.
