Alan Greenspan、前FOMC議長です。
あの日本がバブルのさなか、87年の夏にロナルド・リーガン政権からフェッド・チェアマンに抜擢され、その数週間後にはブラックマンデーという戦後史上最悪の証券市場の危機に立ち向かった「歴代最強の議長」。
その後20年近く議長として君臨し米国のみならず世界経済のかじ取り役として大活躍した経済学者。
音楽をこよなく愛し、その地に足を降ろした政策と実行力は青年時代に培った実社会の生活に密着した人生感に基づいているのだろう。
そんなグリーンスパン氏の過去、現在、未来を語り合うコミュにして行けたらと思っています。
以下wikipediaの紹介文です。
Alan Greenspan (born March 6, 1926 in New York City) is an American economist and from 1987 to 2006 chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve of the United States. He currently works as a private advisor, making speeches and providing consulting for firms through his company, Greenspan Associates LLC.
First appointed Fed chairman by President Ronald Reagan in August 1987, he was reappointed at successive four-year intervals until retiring after a record-setting tenure on January 31, 2006, at which time he relinquished the chairmanship to Ben Bernanke. Greenspan was lauded for his handling of the Black Monday stock market crash that occurred very shortly after he first became chairman, as well as for his stewardship of the Internet-driven, "dot-com" economic boom of the 1990s. This expansion culminated in a stock market bubble burst in March 2000 followed by a recession beginning in late 2000 and continuing through 2002.
From 2001 until his retirement from the Fed, he was increasingly criticized for some statements seen as overstepping the Fed's traditional purview of monetary policy, and viewed by others as overly supportive of the policies of President George W. Bush, as well as for policies seen as leading to a housing bubble. During his tenure Greenspan was considered to be the leading authority on American domestic economic and monetary policy, and his active influence continues to this day.
