Alan Greenspan served as the Federal Reserve Chair from 1987 to 2006, during which he implemented policies aimed at stabilizing the economy.
One of the key concepts associated with his tenure is the 'Greenspan put', which refers to the belief that the Federal Reserve would intervene to support markets in times of distress.
This approach has drawn criticism for potentially encouraging moral hazard, as it may lead to overprotecting markets and altering investor behavior.
