During his tenure from 1987 to 2006, Greenspan was revered as the "Oracle" and "Maestro," overseeing a sustained era of American economic growth and prosperity, including a 10-year boom. He earned widespread credit for helping restore calm and stability during financial crises such as "Black Monday" in 1987 and the 1997-98 Asian financial crisis. Greenspan's legacy is complex, as his easy-money policies and unwavering faith in lightly supervised financial markets were widely criticized for contributing to the 2008 financial crisis, a mistake he later conceded. After stepping down, he remained active, running a consulting firm, writing books, and offering commentary, including criticizing actions by the Trump administration regarding the Federal Reserve's independence.
