Alan Greenspan is the worst Chairman of the Fed in history.
When the former Fed chairman was in, Alan Greenspan was in, there was a saying back in those days that you called the 'Greenspan put.' Any time the treasury secretary - for the Fed chairman - said something, the market saw that as good news, and it took off.
Alan Greenspan is going to go down in history as one of the worst Federal Reserve chairmen ever.
[On reporters trying to cajole a smile from her husband, Alan Greenspan:] For a Federal Reserve chairman, that was a smile.
The Fed needs an approach that consolidates the gains of the Greenspan years and ensures that those successful policies will continue - even if future Fed chairmen are less skillful or less committed to price stability than Mr. Greenspan has been.
For the last several decades, there was a prevailing belief among traditional economists that the markets were rational and self-correcting. Alan Greenspan advocated this view. But the 2008 financial crisis showed that this view is incorrect, and Greenspan eventually admitted as much.
There is an enormous thrust in our time to have a simple answer. And that simple answer is that all depends on Alan Greenspan and the Federal Reserve. And Alan, who is an old acquaintance of mine, is a marvelous performer in the impression he gives of enormously great perception.
Chairman Greenspan is, of course, a master.
I agree with what the Chairman Greenspan said whatever it is that he did say.
You wouldn't want Alan Greenspan to write the instructions for assembling a beach chair.
If you believe that markets operate in Alan Greenspan fashion, then you don't inquire into the details.
No man bears more responsibility for the present worldwide financial crisis and coming depression than Alan Greenspan.
During the Greenspan-Bernanke era, the Fed has embraced the view that stability in the economy and stability in prices are mutually consistent. As long as inflation remains at or below its target level, the Fed's modus operandi is to panic at the sight of real or perceived economic trouble and provide emergency relief.
Remember, Alan Greenspan was a member of Ayn Rand's collective. To understand this is to understand why we are doomed with the Federal Reserve.

Alan Greenspan is unskilled; you don't take the unskilled seriously.
I'm against having a Fed. It's socialism in its worst form. But until the Fed is gotten rid of, the only economic variable the poor have to counteract the injustices of the Fed is the minimum wage law.
