Alan Greenspan: I Was Wrong (longer clip)

submitted by NetRunner

1 decade 6 years 1 month 4 weeks ago

October 23, 2008 C-SPAN, Oversight & Government Reform Committee

Amoung those responsible for the current economic crisis is "Former Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan, who in 2004, near the peak of the housing bubble, encouraged Americans to take out adjustable rate mortgages."

Moving this video to NetRunner's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

Very interesting, saying his 40 year economic worldview had a major flaw and that he was shocked to discover it so.

Might that flaw be in not realizing that, when faced with a moral choice, man (in this case bankers) will choose Greed rather than what is Right. Amazing, all those decades of brilliant economics yet no grasp of basic human nature.
