Early life and education
Goldman was born in the United States[where?], in a non-religious Jewish family. He earned his bachelor's degree at Columbia University in 1973, and a master's degree in music theory at the City University of New York.[citation needed] He studied economics at the London School of Economics in 1976.[citation needed]
Career
From 1976 to 1982, Goldman was responsible for economic publications in the Lyndon LaRouche movement.[3] Goldman has described himself during that period as a radical and an atheist. After leaving the LaRouche movement, he became a conservative, and worked for the Reagan administration and later on Wall Street.[4]
Since 1984, Goldman has been employed as an economic strategist and CEO of investment funds and investment policies in senior positions in bodies such as Credit Suisse,[5] Bank of America, Cantor Fitzgerald, Asteri Capital,[5] and SG Capital. After leaving Wall Street, he became an editor for First Things magazine.[5] In September 2013, Goldman became a Managing Director and head of the Americas division of the Reorient Group investment bank based in Hong Kong. He left Reorient in early 2016.
Goldman has previously directed research departments at financial institutions, including global fixed- ncome research at Bank of America (2002-2005) and credit strategy at Credit Suisse (1998-2002). From 1994 to 2001 he was a columnist for Forbes magazine and had publish articles in publications such as The Wall Street Journal, Commentary, and Bloomberg Businessweek.[5]
Goldman has also published articles in musicology journals and other publications and written several books. Between 2002 and 2011, Goldman served as a member of the board of directors of Mannes School of Music, where he was formerly a teacher.[citation needed]
He is a Washington Fellow of the Claremont Institute, Senior Fellow at the London Center for Policy Research, and a member of the Board of Advisors of Sino-Israel Government Network and Academic Leadership (SIGNAL), and is Senior Editor of the American monthly First Things.[6]
Media
According to the Claremont Review of Books, the "Spengler" columns in the Asia Times have attracted readership in the millions.[7] Goldman concealed his identity under the "Spengler" pseudonym until 2009, when he revealed his identity in the Asia Times article, "And Spengler is…" and the First Things article "Confessions of a Coward".
Goldman regularly appears as a guest on CNBC's Larry Kudlow Program, where he has been an outspoken critic of Federal Reserve efforts to resuscitate the American economy.
In "Dumb and Dumber", a widely commented upon piece for Tablet magazine in May 2013, Goldman argued how both Republican and Democratic foreign policy elite in the United States have wrongly put their faith in the so-called Arab Spring.[8] In Goldman's view, economic and demographic realities could condemn many Arab states to state failure.[8][9]
