2022: Alan Greenspan’s Legacy

As the most influential economic statesman of his age, Alan Greenspan spent a lifetime grappling with a momentous shift: the transformation of finance from the fixed and regulated system of the post-war era to the free-for-all of the past quarter century. The story of Greenspan is also the story of the making of modern finance, for good and for ill. Financial journalist SEBASTIAN MALLABY, author of The Man Who Knew, a biography of the former Fed chairman, will discuss Greenspan’s legacy and help us to see the economic and political landscape—including today’s resurgence of inflation—in a whole new light.
