O antigo presidente da Reserva Federal Americana, o homem responsável pela política monetária dos EUA nos últimos 18 anos e muito provavelmente o mais poderoso em termos económicos, isto é, o responsável pelas medidas de desregulamentação que estão na origem da crise actual, admite que a sua ideologia pode estar errada:no Guardian:
"A long-time cheerleader for deregulation, Greenspan admitted to a congressional committee yesterday that he had been "partially wrong" in his hands-off approach towards the banking industry and that the credit crunch had left him in a state of shocked disbelief. "I have found a flaw," said Greenspan, referring to his economic philosophy. "I don't know how significant or permanent it is. But I have been very distressed by that fact."
It was the first time the man hailed for masterminding the world's longest postwar boom has accepted any culpability for the crisis that has engulfed the global banking system. "
