Anyone reading Alan Greenspan’s, The Age of Turbulence? Not me. I’m always buckled from takeoff to landing so I don’t need to. Regardless, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix sits on my shelf half-read. Can’t watch the movie ’till I’m done!
I had this college macroecon prof who claimed Alan Greenspan to be the most powerful man in the world. Actually, so did every econ professor in every university across America. Didn’t yours? Regardless of whatever truth be held in that claim, it sure made for an interesting freshman-level econ discussion. Impressionable young minds, and I was one of them. Greenspan ‘08 son!
Here’s a fun read on the ambiguous aura of Alan, the sub-prime market, and trans fatty acids:
“Fans of Greenspan, of which there are many, herald his uncanny ability to foresee the market’s impending collapse”
And others think he (or rather The Fed) actually makes that collapse happen…
