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.

In 1974, during Nixons second term, Greenspan accepted a position as chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, reportedly motivated by an appeal to
