The New York Times has this article on Greenspan's legacy. The focus is on the failure to regulate derivatives. I have to admit that at the time I was on the side of Greenspan, and Rubin and Summers. Like most economists, I just assumed that a government agency headed by a lawyer could not understand the role of a complex financial contract.
Hubris is no substitute for analysis I guess.
