🇺🇸BREAKING: Alan Greenspan, the former Federal Reserve chairman, has died at the age of 100 from complications of Parkinson's disease.


Greenspan led the Fed from 1987 to 2006 under four presidents, presiding over the longest economic expansion in US history and coining the phrase "irrational exuberance" to describe the dot-com bubble forming around him.
His legacy was permanently marked by the 2008 financial crisis, with critics pointing to his loose money policies and opposition to derivatives regulation as key contributors to the subprime collapse that followed his tenure.
His wife, NBC journalist Andrea Mitchell, confirmed his death Monday morning.
