Alan Greenspan, a Rock-Star Fed Chairman Whose Legacy Was Dimmed by the Financial Crisis, Dies at Age 100
Alan Greenspan oversaw the US Federal Reserve for nearly two decades from 1987 until 2006.
His tenure was the second longest, four months short of that of William McChesney Martin, who presided over the central bank from 1951 to 1970.
He presided over the Fed during one of the longest economic expansions in U.S. history, a boom stretching from 1991 to 2001.
His term under George W. Bush expired in 2006.
