Greenspan happened to be the Fed Chairman at the right time in history. This all began with Reaganomics and the explosion in technology and with that permanent and fundamental changes in the economy and productivity. Sure Greenspan has engineered some good moves, but you make him out like he's some god. He's an excellent economist but he is not infallible. I'm sure there are many others who can do his job. Kudos should also be given to former Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin. When he left, things didn't go to hell in a basket. If Greenspan left tomorrow, things would just move ahead anyway. The markets are bigger than anyone, any institution, or any government, and they will take care of themselves. The markets are self-regulating. If Greenspan is targeting the markets and the wealth effect, he is stepping overboard IMO. That is not in his job description nor is it the function of the Fed. Greenspan also has the graybeards on the Fed board to deal with so he has to become a mediator between the hawks vs. the doves on that board. All that being said, I respect Greenspan but I think Larry Kudlow would make a great Fed Chairman. We could always use some new blood and vitality in government agencies.
