Longtime Fed chair, Ayn Rand disciple Alan Greenspan dead at 100

Alan Greenspan, the former Federal Reserve chair whose policies over nearly two decades contributed to significant economic inequality and paved the way for multiple financial crises, passed away at 100 after a struggle with Parkinson’s disease. While mainstream media showered him with praise for overseeing periods of low inflation and stock market growth, critics argue his approach exacerbated income disparities and laid the groundwork for economic downturns. His death marks the end of an era that shaped modern economic policies and continues to influence debates on financial regulation and inequality.
