Alan Greenspan, who led the US Federal Reserve from 1987 to 2006, has passed away at the age of 100.
His tenure is remembered for a landmark period of economic growth alongside his role in the 2008 financial crisis.
He pioneered a complex risk-management approach for monetary policy while maintaining a strong belief in market self-regulation.
Following the 2008 market collapse, he famously acknowledged a major flaw in his long-held economic ideology regarding regulation.
