As chairman of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors for nearly two decades, Alan Greenspan was probably one of the most influential - some would say "powerful" - people in the world. From among the things you learned about Greenspan's personal life and early years, what aspect surprised you the most? How do you think this affected his career and thinking?
Based on what Greenspan writes about his monetary policy decision-making during his term, do you have any reason to suspect that his decisions were ever politicized? Do you suspect that he ever led the Board of Governors or the FOMC in a specific direction, consciously or subconsciously, to avoid being criticized as "in the tank" for the Republican party? Explain why or why not.
