Now, only a year or two into retirement, his reputation is, like our economy, in a shambles. 0a4e87ffc7d4d06f68114ffef3e28d20 http://www.capitalismmagazine.com/markets/alan-greenspan/5353-alan-greenspan-vs-ayn-rand-and-freedom.html Alan Greenspan Fri, 07 Nov 2008 06:00:00 +0000 The connection of Alan Greenspan to Ayn Rand, decades ago, is being used dishonestly to blacken her name and her ideas. 9cca35e49fc45748f62637c5c8ef99b3 http://www.capitalismmagazine.com/markets/alan-greenspan/5349-maestro-alan-greenspan-vs-and-the-free-market.html Alan Greenspan Tue, 04 Nov 2008 06:00:00 +0000 To listen to today's Alan Greenspan talk about free markets is like listening to a Chinese censor talk about free speech. 1faff85cf9bb8739618bc61190291f46 http://www.capitalismmagazine.com/markets/alan-greenspan/5330-alan-greenspan-vs-capitalism.html Alan Greenspan Mon, 27 Oct 2008 05:00:00 +0000 No sympathy should be wasted on Alan Greenspan. He did what John Galt in Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged refused to do even at the point of a gun and under physical torture: he agreed to become an economic dictator of the country. 1b2c58f53e1c2fa7fac2bb7129ec64c1 http://www.capitalismmagazine.com/markets/alan-greenspan/4574-alan-greenspan-s-record-as-fed-chairman-better-than-predecessors-not-as-good-as-gold.html Alan Greenspan Thu, 16 Feb 2006 06:00:00 +0000 Alan Greenspan was Federal Reserve chairman for 18 and a half years -- longer than the reigns of nearly half the kings and queens of England. A few years ago he was 'knighted' by England's current monarch. For years he was deified by economists and Wall Street strategists. The so-called 'maestro' purportedly 'orchestrated' all the good that occurred and valiantly muted financial crises. This tall tale is utter nonsense. Greenspan's policies, in fact, caused many of those crises. b0f4bf48bd76a114779f6c7ce8404e8c http://www.capitalismmagazine.com/markets/alan-greenspan/1821-alan-greenspan-ayn-rand-s-failed-student.html Alan Greenspan Mon, 26 Aug 2002 05:00:00 +0000 The fact is if Greenspan possessed even a basic respect for the market, that is, a respect for the virtue of individual productivity and the benefit of mutual trade to mutual advantage, he would not be blaming the market for the recent spell of losses. ee241133e3299a87f8289893562f6a36 http://www.capitalismmagazine.com/markets/alan-greenspan/1647-rational-pessimism-the-choice-between-irrational-exuberance-and-irrational-pessimism-is-a-false-dichotomy.html Alan Greenspan Wed, 12 Jun 2002 05:00:00 +0000 Just as markets were accused of 'irrational exuberance' a few years ago, now they're being accused of 'irrational pessimism.' But in both cases, the market's sentiments entail realism, and are entirely justified. e40dead330ee33695e11d0c24dafbd5b http://www.capitalismmagazine.com/markets/alan-greenspan/1468-alan-greenspan-and-gold-lingering-doubts.html Alan Greenspan Tue, 05 Mar 2002 06:00:00 +0000 "I have an original copy [of Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal] and Greenspan signed it for me. I asked him if he still believes it, and he said he ‘wouldn't change a single word.' Maybe deep down inside he's having a few doubts." f74fdc4b8665a2d0b9001727520d063d http://www.capitalismmagazine.com/markets/alan-greenspan/1057-greenspan-recants-no-catalyst-no-bull-market.html Alan Greenspan Tue, 04 Sep 2001 05:00:00 +0000 Without a catalyst, the best we can hope for is stabilization. And that ain't much. 946e9b7ae91f641ec3ff53f6edcc08b7
