Continuing from Monday’s story on experts, Greenspan appeared on the scene, a wily, sly individual with a knack for political intrigue but no economic sense whatsoever. He conjured up immense power and misplaced prestige for himself but left the country in tatters with the worst crisis since the Great Depression. Rigging the elections. The pension fund crisis is growing alarmingly. Startup businesses continue to slide. The suburbs are the new poverty traps. Germany wants to stop production of all diesel and gasoline-powered engines in 2030. Britain’s place in ‘Europe’. Poverty in the European Union.
