In 1996, Greenspan famously coined the phrase &#8220;irrational exuberance&#8221; to describe bubbles fueled by unbridled investor optimism, alluding to that era&#8217;s craze for internet company stocks.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>More controversially, Greenspan&#8217;s legacy is linked to the 2008 global financial crisis and the ensuing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federalreservehistory.org\/essays\/great-recession-of-200709#:~:text=Lasting%20from%20December%202007%20to,longest%20since%20World%20War%20II.&amp;text=The%20Great%20Recession%20began%20in,recession%20since%20World%20War%20II.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Great Recession<\/a>, although the economic collapse occurred after he ended his final term as Fed chair in early 2006.

In 2008, Greenspan told lawmakers he had mistakenly believed big banks would be more prudent in their lending practices, both to protect themselves and their shareholders.<\/p>\n<p>As a younger economist, Greenspan told Fortune that he had discounted the role of human behavior in economics, saying he believed it was &#8220;not worth evaluating.&#8221; But he later realized that &#8220;there were very important missing variables in the forecasting system, and these all related to systemic activities of human beings,&#8221; Greenspan noted.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You can count that human beings will become euphoric on occasion, and in deep distress and fear. What you can count on is that will never change,&#8221; he told the publication..<\/p>\n<p>As Fed chair, Greenspan also became known for offering often cryptic economic commentary that lawmakers, economists and investors scrambled to interpret. At the same time, he championed what he described as a shift away from less informative Fed statements before the 1980s, pushing for greater transparency by central bankers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You don&#8217;t want to surprise the markets unless there is a purpose to it,&#8221; Greenspan said in a Federal Reserve <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federalreserve.gov\/aboutthefed\/files\/alan-greenspan-interview-20090331.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">oral history<\/a> in 2009. &#8220;Too often in the past we would surprise markets with no particular purpose, which was not good.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Greenspan was born in New York City on March 6, 1926, to Herbert Greenspan, a stockbroker, and Rose Greenspan, a homemaker, <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.nytimes.com\/www.nytimes.com\/books\/first\/m\/martin-greenspan.html?_r=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according<\/a> to the New York Times. His parents divorced when he was five, partly due to financial stress stemming from the aftermath of the 1929 stock market crash, the Times noted. <\/p>\n<p>As a child, Greenspan exhibited mathematical talent, with the Times noting he could add three-digit sums in his head at age five. As a teenager, he pursued musical interests, studying the clarinet at Juilliard before studying economics at New York University, where he eventually earned a bachelor&#8217;s, master&#8217;s and doctoral degree.<\/p>\n<p>While studying economics, Greenspan became a devotee of novelist Ayn Rand, with an NYU alumni magazine <a href=\"https:\/\/alumnimagazine.nyu.edu\/issue10\/10_print_greenspan.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reporting<\/a>\u00a0that he met regularly with her &#8220;objectivist salon&#8221; in her Manhattan apartment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>His first job was with the National Industrial Conference Board, where he analyzed demand for aluminum, copper and steel, followed by the creation of his economic consulting firm Townsend-Greenspan &amp; Co., according to the Federal Reserve.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After entering politics, Greenspan became an adviser to Richard Nixon during the latter&#8217;s successful 1968 presidential campaign. Later, Greenspan served as chairman of the President&#8217;s Council of Economic Advisers under President Gerald Ford and as a member of President Ronald Reagan&#8217;s Economic Policy Advisory Board.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Greenspan was appointed Fed chair in 1987 by President Reagan, a role he held under three other presidents: George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Greenspan, who married the journalist Andrea Mitchell in 1997, retired from the Federal Reserve Board in 2006.<\/p>\n<p>Asked by Fortune Magazine if any president had ever asked him to cut interest rates while he was Fed chair, Greenspan said he never got a direct request.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;[B]ut a few hinted it. However, I will tell you\u2026 no politician ever called me up and asked me to raise interest rates,&#8221; he noted wryly.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<p
