Alan Greenspan, the influential economist who steered US monetary policy during his five terms as chairman of the Federal Reserve under four presidents, has died aged 100, NBC News reported on Monday.
In a statement that she shared with the network, Greenspan’s wife, NBC News correspondent Andrea Mitchell, said he died from complications of Parkinson’s disease.
Greenspan chaired the Federal Reserve from 1987 to 2006, serving under the presidencies of Ronald Reagan, George HW Bush, Bill Clinton and George W Bush.
“He will be remembered for his brilliance and his kindness,” Mitchell’s statement to NBC said. “Being his life partner was the joy of my life.”
