title: "The Maestro takes his bow: Alan Greenspan, 1926-2026"
description: Alan Greenspan, who presided over the Federal Reserve for more than eighteen years and came to embody the very idea of central banking, died 22 June at his home in Washington at the age of 100. He leaves behind the legacy of a man celebrated as the “Maestro” of the global economy, before the crises that followed made his record more controversial.
