Alan Greenspan's Lasting Legacy

In this episode of the Georgia Politics Podcast, we reflect on the life and legacy of former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan following his passing.

For nearly two decades, Greenspan helped shape U.S. monetary policy through economic booms, market crashes and periods of historic change, becoming one of the most influential figures in modern finance.

We discuss the decisions that defined his tenure, the praise and criticism that followed him throughout his career, and how his approach to interest rates, inflation and financial regulation continues to influence policymakers today. Was Greenspan the steady hand that guided the American economy through unprecedented growth, or did some of his policies contribute to the financial crises that followed?

Join us as we examine the complicated legacy of one of the most consequential economic leaders of the last half-century and what his impact means for today's economy and tomorrow's policymakers.
