Alan Greenspan, Meet Reality (Part II)

Michael Hurd | 27 February 2009
Alan Greenspan entered office considered perhaps the greatest Chairman of the Federal Reserve in its history; as one of the greatest economic minds in history -- for all of the wrong reasons. Now, only a year or two into retirement, his reputation is, like our economy, in a shambles.

Alan Greenspan, Meet Reality (Part I)

Michael Hurd | 26 February 2009
Were Soviet Communists, German National Socialists, Italian Fascists and European "democratic socialists", despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, right all along?

Alan Greenspan vs. Ayn Rand and Freedom

Harry Binswanger | 7 November 2008
The connection of Alan Greenspan to Ayn Rand, decades ago, is being used dishonestly to blacken her name and her ideas.

"Maestro" Alan Greenspan vs. and The Free Market

Yaron Brook Alex Epstein | 4 November 2008
To listen to today's Alan Greenspan talk about free markets is like listening to a Chinese censor talk about free speech.

Alan Greenspan vs. Capitalism

Edward Cline | 27 October 2008
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.

Alan Greenspan's Record as FED Chairman: Better Than Predecessors, Not As Good as Gold

Richard Salsman | 16 February 2006
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.

Alan Greenspan: Ayn Rand's Failed Student

Nicholas Provenzo | 26 August 2002
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.

Rational Pessimism: The Choice Between 'Irrational Exuberance' and 'Irrational Pessimism' is a False Dichotomy

Richard Salsman | 12 June 2002
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.

Alan Greenspan and Gold: Lingering Doubts?

Don Luskin | 5 March 2002
"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."

Greenspan Recants: No Catalyst, No Bull Market

Don Luskin | 4 September 2001
Without a catalyst, the best we can hope for is stabilization. And that ain't much.
