33.14 - 50.001 Karen Moskow

News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Karen Moscow. We bring you this special report with NBC reporting former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan has died at the age of 100. We take a look at his life and legacy with Bloomberg's John Tucker.

49.981 - 74.351 John Tucker

Greenspan was born in New York in 1926. He studied clarinet at New York's Juilliard School and went on the road with the Henry Jerome Orchestra. Between gigs, he started reading books on stocks and eventually quit the band to study business and economics at NYU. He met libertarian icon Ayn Rand in the early 50s and joined her inner circle.

74.892 - 97.659 John Tucker

She nicknamed him the Undertaker, and he soaked up her notions about free markets. Greenspan first entered the political scene in the late 1960s. He was sworn in as chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers under President Ford, and in 1987, Ronald Reagan appointed Greenspan to head up the Federal Reserve. It's my pleasure to welcome Alan Greenspan.

98.4 - 121.297 John Tucker

He'd go on to serve an unprecedented five terms. Greenspan cultivated a wizard-like aura, with markets holding their collective breath ahead of his often cryptic comments. His mention of an irrational exuberance in the markets briefly sent stocks tumbling around the world. His legacy would be challenged when the financial crisis erupted less than two years after he stepped down.

Chapter 2: What were Alan Greenspan's early influences and career beginnings?

173.386 - 178.712

And so we have to deal with it. Forecasting it is very precarious.

The thing he loved most was as Dr. Greenspan to diagnose the patient, which was the economy. John Tucker, Bloomberg Radio.

All right, John, thank you. And again, NBC reporting, former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan has died at the age of 100. The cause was said to be complications of Parkinson's disease. That's news when you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Karen Moscow, and this is Bloomberg.
