My Take
What fascinates me most about Greenspan is not the two-decade Fed chairmanship but the jazz musician who came before it. A man who once made a living improvising on a saxophone later spent his career reading the improvisational rhythms of global markets, and I suspect those two skills were never as separate as they look. Whatever you make of his policy legacy, the sheer range of one human life here demands a certain awe, and he has mine.
