| Alan Greenspan Says He Sees `Early Symptoms' of Stagflation | | 2007-12-16 10:54:00 | | By Christopher WelliszDec. 16 (Bloomberg) -- Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said he sees warning signs of so-called stagflation, a combination of slow economic growth and rising prices.``We are beginning to get not stagflation, but the early symptoms of it,'' Greenspan said on ABC's ``This Week'' program.``We had a period of remarkable disinflation'' in the years following the end of the Cold War, when inflation rates declined, Greenspan, 81, said. ``That period is now coming to an end.''Greenspan cited rising prices of Chinese exports together with declining productivity increases in the U.S. and elsewhere as signs that the era of declining inflation rates may be ending.U.S. consumer prices rose the most in more than two years last month on record energy costs, a government report last week showed. The consumer price index increased 0.8 percent in November, up from 0.3 percent the previous month. Prices excluding food and energy climbed 0.3 percent. | | By: How to be Rich, Happy and Free from Scams | | |

| | Purgatory For Alan Greenspan | | 2007-09-18 23:03:25 | | The topic below was originally posted on my blog, the Intrepid Liberal Journal as well as the Independent Bloggers Alliance, The Peace Tree and Worldwide Sawdust. Alan Greenspan belongs to the Club of Emasculated Moderate Elites who enabled corporate theocrats to destroy the American Dream at home and annihilate our moral authority abroad. A prerequisite for membership is to first allow crazy ideologues to exploit their prestige and later disown the disastrous policies their reputations facilitated. Former Secretary of State Colin Powell is a charter member of this club and a pathetic figure who criticizes the Bush Administration about Iraq when it no longer matters. Powell’s domestic policy soul mate, Alan Greenspan, joined him with his new memoir, The Age of Turbulence: Adventures In a New World.Actually, one could argue that Greenspan was a charter member as early as 2001. The prescient and sagacious Paul Krugman wrote the following for his column entitled “Reckonings; Doing th | | By: The Peace Tree | | |

| "Enemy Media" Contorts, Distorts And Lies About Alan Greenspan. . . | | 2007-09-18 20:57:43 | | Watching the “Enemy Media” completely distort (Chris Mathews seemed to be having on air orgasms) what Alan Greenspan said regarding the economy, The Bush Administration, the War and just about everything else is maddening. I’m still not sure if they are just so uninformed that they are not aware of how dumb they sound to informed audiences (which sadly given my experience is like 10 of us) or if they are actively inventing facts. My gut tells me it’s a little both.In his interview with the WSJ, Greenspan stated that “The Clinton administration was a pretty centrist party. … But they’re not governing again. The next administration may have the Clinton administration name but the Democratic Party … has moved … very significantly in the wrong direction.” Greenspan is referring to the modern Democrat Party’s war on prosperity and free trade.On 60 Minutes, Greenspan referred to Hillary Clinton as “unquestionably capable” and “very smart.” To this statement they | | By: Copious Dissent - Your Daily Dose of Liberty | | |
| | Extraordinary Article on Alan Greenspan | | 2007-07-21 09:07:38 | | Must read on the history of Alan Greenspan. I must say, I have been a critic of his, but I am shocked at how ridiculous his whole story is. Amazing.

| | Gold and Economic Freedom by Alan Greenspan | | 2007-05-14 22:43:17 | | Long before he became the head man in the fiat money game, Alan Greenspan had an honest understanding of currency, state manipulation and individual freedom.
In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation. There is no safe store of value. If there were, the government would have to make its holding illegal, as was done in the case of gold. If everyone decided, for example, to convert all his bank deposits to silver or copper or any other good, and thereafter declined to accept checks as payment for goods, bank deposits would lose their purchasing power and government-created bank credit would be worthless as a claim on goods. The financial policy of the welfare state requires that there be no way for the owners of wealth to protect themselves. - Alan Greenspan
At some point he went woefully astray. Why? Who knows.
