Greenspan is one of the smartest people I've never met. He's always carefully measured in anything he says. In spite of having left the Federal Reserve several years ago, his comments still can rock the markets.
Personally I think he has a duty to speak more forcefully than he does. He has nothing at all to lose now he's out of office, and the country is in dire need of his wisdom. His book, The Age of Turbulence, is a fascinating read. The things he almost says, particularly about a few of our past presidents, are as interesting as the things he actually says.
He's one of the few famous people in the world I would actually like to meet. One of the others is an inventor.
