About Me:
Born March 6, 1926, in New York City. Considered by many to be the second most powerful man in the United States, Greenspan has headed the seven-member board since 1987, doggedly fighting to keep inflation down and increase consumer confidence in the economy.
Raised by his mother and grandmother in the Washington Heights section of Manhattan, Greenspan actively pursued his interest in music. After graduating from high school, he studied at the Juilliard School and spent a year travelling with the Henry Jerome Band as a tenor saxophone and clarinet player.

Townsend served as president of the company until his death in 1958, when Greenspan became its president and principal owner.

Greenspan, who remained friends with Rand until her death in 1982, was greatly influenced by her philosophy of Objectivism or the pursuit of economic self-interest to the exclusion of the interests of society as a whole.
Greenspan entered politics for the first time in1967, when he served as director of domestic policy research for Richard M. Nixons successful presidential campaign. Though he turned down a permanent position in the Nixon administration, he served as part of the President-elects transition team and advised him informally while continuing his work at Townsend-Greenspan in New York. In 1974, during Nixons second term, Greenspan accepted a position as chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, reportedly motivated by an appeal to
