Alan Greenspan

Alan Greenspan
What an ideology is is a conceptual framework with the way people deal with reality. Everyone has one. You have to, to exist you need an ideology. The question is whether it is accurate or not.
Alan Greenspan
We will have more crises and none of them will look like this because no two crises have anything in common except human nature.
Alan Greenspan

Alan Greenspan
