Alan Greenspan, the former chair of the US Federal Reserve, dies at the age of 100, according to multiple Australian outlets. The reports describe Greenspan as widely associated with the period of economic expansion in the United States during the late 1990s and early 2000s, when he is credited by supporters with helping engineer a decade of sustained prosperity. However, the outlets also note that his reputation was later damaged by the global financial crisis (GFC). The same set of accounts frames Greenspan as one of the central figures blamed for the crisis, reflecting a broader debate about the Federal Reserve’s role and the effects of monetary policy and financial conditions leading up to the downturn. The reports characterize his legacy as divided: he is remembered both for the stability and growth of the pre-crisis years and for the policy environment that critics say contributed to the eventual collapse in financial markets. The articles do not provide additional details on the circumstances of his death beyond his age.
