Greenspan
Greenspan refers to Alan Greenspan, chairman of the U.S.
Federal Reserve from 1987 to 2006—the longest tenure in that position.
His name became shorthand for monetary policy itself during his era.
Greenspan was known for deliberately opaque statements to markets, a style sometimes called Greenspeak: The Fed chair pulled a Greenspan, leaving everyone guessing about interest rates.
