Alan Greenspan, who served as chairman of the Federal Reserve for nearly two decades, has died at the age of 100. His wife, Andrea Mitchell, confirmed his passing.
Greenspan was appointed as Fed chair by President Ronald Reagan in 1987 and held the position until 2006, making him one of the longest-serving chairs in the history of the Federal Reserve. His tenure coincided with a period known as the Great Moderation, characterized by economic stability and growth.
Greenspan's death was confirmed by his wife, who stated he passed away at their home. His legacy includes both praise for his role in economic growth and criticism for policies linked to the financial crisis of 2008.
Greenspan's passing marks the end of an era for the Federal Reserve and raises questions about the long-term impact of his policies on the U.S. economy.
