Alan Greenspan.
One of the most influential people of the last 40 years. The knock on effects from his policies have literally shaped the world we live in today.
His policies nearly finished capitalism off in 08
How so?
He pumped out money at low interest rates post 9/11 and basically caused the subsequent banking collapse.
He also deregulated US banks and said they can regulate themselves as they will have to mind their shareholders so wonāt do anything stupid.
LOL
He was also behind the derivatives markets getting so big as he thought it derisked banks.
LOL
He also removed limits on how much banks could āinvestā themselves, that had been brought in after the last time banks blew themselves up.
The US economy purred along under his leadership and he was basically seen as a genius for it, and for getting them through two crisis in 87 and again post dot.com bubble & 9/11.
So central banks all over the world copied his policies and we all ended up in the same shit heap.
The butterfly effects are insane, you could go so far as to blame him for the Arab spring.
Which caused massive migration, which causes the rise of the far right etc etc etc
So Bin Laden brought down the world economy.
A fine dayās work.

Dot.con bubble was well on the way down by then, but 9/11 really put a cap on it and he cut interest rates to the bone after and pumped the market with liquidity
Was Greenspan a dem or rep?
Iād imagine he was a Republican. Small government, let the market regulate itself etc.
Ok
I lived the dot-com bubble. Some ride.
Same in the ai tech companies now Iād say
