Alan Greenspan, Fed chair who shaped the modern financial era, dies at 100
Alan Greenspan, who led the US Federal Reserve from 1987 to 2006 and became the defining central banker of the globalisation era, has died aged 100. His low-rate, deregulatory tenure built much of the modern financial system, but his reputation was shadowed by the 2008 crisis that followed his exit.
