	Greenspan Backtracks On Iraq War Oil Claim, The Skinny: Former Fed Chief Now Says Oil Wasn't The Reason For U.S. ...
		Part 1: Alan Greenspan speaks with Leslie Stahl about his tenure at the Federal Reserve and admits that he did not foresee warning signs of a sub prime mortgage meltdown.
		Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan, 79, retires after 18½ years as head of the central bank.
		The former Fed chief may think Hillary Clinton is "very smart" and that President Bush went to war for oil, as he told CBS News' 60 Minutes last night, but he's not any more thrilled with the Democratic Party than the Republicans, he told the Wall Street Journal.

	TomPaine.com - Alan Greenspan, Egalitarian?
		Greenspan had, in effect, stumbled upon the core essence of egalitarian economic analysis: If everyone shares the same basic innate talent, then any society that ends up with huge gaps of income and wealth between equally hard-working people has somewhere along the line missed the boat—and needs fundamental rethinking.
		Greenspan would go on to challenge, as the 1990s boom roared on, the smug assumption that Main Street had finally meshed with Wall Street, that 401(k)s had turned average Americans into one vast and glorious investor class, that higher share prices meant prosperity and good times for all.
		Greenspan's worries reflect instead a longstanding strain of thought within economic orthodoxy, the fear that average people, if they come to feel that the wealthy have grabbed appreciably more than their fair share, will demand policy changes—on taxes, on trade, on business regulation—that threaten the pillars of economic orthodoxy.

	A Farewell To Alan Greenspan
		If Alan Greenspan could stand in front of a TV camera today and say, "The economy is going down in a huge flaming pile just like the Hindenburg," the chances are good the economy would tank within the hour.
		Greenspan eventually reversed his actions, conceding that the "new economy" was not as susceptible to inflation as he had first thought.
		Greenspan took the reins before one of the worst economic crises in history, the crash of 1987, and by boldly slashing interest rates he kept the economy from sinking into a depression period like the one in which he was born.

	Greenspan Renews Warning on Budget Deficits (washingtonpost.com)
		But Greenspan, responding to questions during a Senate Budget Committee hearing today, said it was unfair for critics to ignore the warnings in his January 2001 congressional testimony that the surplus forecasts might be wrong, and his recommendation of some "trigger" mechanism that would limit tax cuts if certain budget targets were not met.
		Greenspan reminded Sarbanes that both parties were proposing tax cuts at the time, when government economists forecast budget surpluses "as far as the eye can see." In May 2001, Congress passed a reduced form of President Bush's proposal, a tax cut worth $1.35 trillion over 10 years.
		Greenspan called for "major deficit-reducing actions" and acknowledged that tax increases may be part of an agreement between the two parties.

	Alan Greenspan: Corrupted by Power or Schizophrenic Alchemist? by Eric Englund
		Greenspan understands, as a servant of the state, that the health of the modern state is inextricably linked to how its fiat currency is managed.
		On the other hand, considering that Alan Greenspan was a Randian and a fierce defender of the gold standard, one could argue that his present-day anti-gold mindset reveals that he has simply become schizophrenic.
		If Dr. Greenspan starts reading books about animal husbandry, is spotted walking an ox, and reveals a secret formula for turning a sow’s ear into a silk purse, you’ll know that he has lost all touch with reality.

	Alan Greenspan: A Minority Report
		Greenspan's real qualification is that he can be trusted never to rock the establishment's boat.
		For Greenspan, laissez-faire is not a lodestar, a standard, and a guide by which to set one's course; instead, it is simply a curiosity kept in the closet, totally divorced from his concrete policy conclusions.

		By raising rates by 0.25 per cent Alan Greenspan seems to have given markets second thoughts about the direction of the US economy, despite the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) playing down the threat.
		Other commentators believe that Greenspan and the US economy have nothing to worry about at this stage of the recovery: gold and other commodity prices turned down suggesting to them that inflationary fears are exaggerated.
		The problem is not Alan Greenspan or the US economy but the belief that interest rates can be successfully manipulated by central banks to bring about increased economic growth.

		In the more than 18 years Greenspan held the reins of the Fed, the economy enjoyed a 10-year economic expansion, the longest in history, and had just two brief recessions that were the mildest since World War II.
		Greenspan took office on Aug. 11, 1987, and quickly faced the first of what turned out to be many challenges at the Fed. On Monday, Oct. 19, 1987, the Dow Jones industrial average plunged 508 points, or 23%, after falling for days.
		Greenspan himself has said it's hard to identify a bubble in real time and has argued the Fed could not have stemmed the excitement about stocks without harming the overall economy.

		Greenspan said Fed policy makers expect economic growth in 2002 of between 2.5 percent and 3.0 percent, weaker than that usually seen in other recovery periods.
		Greenspan said Fed policy makers expect the unemployment rate, currently at 5.6 percent, to rise to between 6.0 percent and 6.25 percent this year.
		Greenspan also addressed the unfolding scandal associated with the bankruptcy of energy trader Enron, saying it could have an impact on the economy by creating uncertainty about the viability of other firms like it, but that impact likely would be minimal.

	Tax cut may work: Greenspan - Jan. 25, 2001
		In testimony to the Senate Budget Committee, Greenspan declined to comment on President Bush's $1.6 trillion, 10-year tax cut plan, saying a decision on the size of a cut was best left up to Congress and the political process.
		However, Greenspan played down the idea that tax cuts would provide an immediate boost to the economy, saying that tax reduction is appropriate as a long-term economic measure now because of estimates of a larger-than-expected federal surplus.
		Greenspan said that if it became clear that politicians might be tempted to use the money for major spending initiatives, it would be better to cut taxes.

	Stop Alan Greenspan
		Greenspan has made it as clear as he ever makes anything that he plans to raise interest rates, again and again, until he slows the economy because he thinks that will prevent inflation.
		Still Greenspan, and other economists, insist that rates must be raised because it is much more painful to overcome inflation than to prevent it.
		Unless there are much clearer signs that inflation is upon us, this year might be one in which we should debate future economic policy rather than stick to obsolescent notions of keeping growth low and unemployment high to satisfy a pre-globalism theory of economics.

	Foolish Feature, Alan Greenspan and the Federal Reserve
		Alan Greenspan, chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, has risen to power thanks to an unusual combination of intellectual rigor and political dexterity.
		It is telling that Greenspan made the seemingly incongruous choice to attend The Juilliard School after high school, and played clarinet and saxophone in a traveling swing band as World War II was ending.
		Although Greenspan's friends and colleagues suggest that his relationship with Rand's Objectivism was more of a flirtation than a real commitment, Greenspan remained part of the philosopher's circle until at least the late 1960s.

	Harry Reid Calls Alan Greenspan a “Hack” » Outside The Beltway \| OTB
		Reid ripped Greenspan during an interview on CNN’s “Inside Politics.” He said the Fed chairman has given President Bush a pass on deficits that have built up in the past four years and should be challenging Republicans on their fiscal policies, rather than promoting Bush’s plan to introduce personal accounts into Social Security.
		I have long found Greenspan annoying, because he seems to have appointed himself the oracle of all things economic, when his job is merely to tweak monetary policy to prevent inflation and moderate recessions.
		Matt Yglesias also agrees with me that Greenspan has done his actual job quite well and that “Insofar as people have complaints about the man, it overwhelmingly concerns his freelancing as a fiscal policy analyst.
