Alan Greenspan, former chairman of the US Federal Reserve, died on Monday at the age of 100. He passed away at his home due to complications from Parkinson's disease, as reported by NBC News, citing his wife Andrea Mitchell. Greenspan led the Federal Reserve from August 1987 to January 2006, a period during which he significantly influenced the US economy. His tenure included overseeing the second-longest economic expansion in US history, a decade of growth from March 1991 to March 2001. While lauded upon his retirement, his legacy was later debated due to a financial crisis that occurred shortly after he left office.
