Alan Greenspan, longest-serving Fed chair who guided the US economy for 19 years, dies at 100
The Baffler—Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, who served as the longest-tenured Fed chair and shaped US monetary policy from 1987 to 2006, has died at age 100. Greenspan guided the US economy through the dot-com bubble, the 1987 stock crash, the 9/11 attacks, and helped engineer decades of low inflation. His tenure was later reassessed critically for its role in the loose credit conditions that preceded the 2008 financial crisis. Fox News Opinion noted how Greenspan built and 'unleashed the massive, modern Federal Reserve.'
