Known for former Chairman of the Federal Reserve

Alan Greenspan was an American economist.[1]

He was appointed Chairman of the Federal Reserve, making him one of the United States's most senior financial officials, on August 11, 1986.[1] He held that office until January 31, 2006.

In a December 2000 profile in Vanity Fair magazine Christopher Hitchens noted that Greenspan was regarded as the second most important official in America, while mocking his boyish admiration of Ayn Rand.[2]
