Alan Greenspan, Richard Posner Duel Over The Causes Of The Financial Crisis

Alan Greenspan, Richard Posner Duel Over The Causes Of The Financial Crisis

I have received an email from Alan Greenspan in which he expresses regret at what he describes as my "rather thin analysis of the source of the current financial crisis." He states that his "view is different," and by way of explanation prints excerpts of three pieces written by him. The first is from remarks, entitled "Risk and Uncertainty in Monetary Policy," that he made at a meeting of the American Economics Association in January of 2004, while he was still chairman of the Federal Reserve and the housing bubble was expanding.
