Alan Greenspan, a former chair of the U.S. Federal Reserve who led the central bank for nearly two decades, has died at the age of 100. Multiple outlets report that Greenspan chaired the Federal Reserve under four U.S. presidents and became one of the most prominent figures in international finance during his tenure. Sources describe his period in office as spanning years of relative economic stability beginning in the mid-1980s through the lead-up to the 2007 financial crisis. Several reports also note that Greenspan’s later reputation is widely reassessed in light of the crisis, with commentators attributing both significant achievements and substantial controversy to his market-oriented policy approach. NBC and The Independent add that Greenspan dies following complications from Parkinson’s disease, confirmed by his wife, journalist Andrea Mitchell. Coverage emphasizes Greenspan’s influence on modern U.S. economic policymaking and his standing as a high-profile central banker, while acknowledging that his legacy is debated in the wake of the worst financial downturn since the Great Depression.
