Episode Details

Alan Greenspan, the legendary Fed chair who guided the U.S. economy through decades of growth and famously called himself “Maestro,” has died at 100. His tenure from 1987 to 2006 saw soaring markets and low inflation, but his legacy darkened after the 2008 financial collapse—critics blamed his deregulatory policies and faith in self-regulating markets for fueling the housing bubble. Before the Fed, he was a jazz virtuoso and economics PhD who mastered data and became a towering figure in policy. He weathered early crises like Black Monday with calm reassurance, pioneered Fed transparency, and remained fiercely independent until his final days—leaving behind a complex, towering legacy that reshaped America’s economic landscape.
