Apart from one rather significant flaw in the writing--not defining derivatives to the extent needed to inform those unfamiliar with financial instruments--this is an enlightened, enterprising and responsible article that essentially pins the current economic crisis on the Ayn Rand-inspired policies of Alan Greenspan. The writer correctly notes how Greenspan bullied Brooksley E. Born, commissioner and chairperson of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, which proposed regulation to monitor derivatives. I encourage NewsTrust reviewers and readers to familiarize themselves with Born who, in the male-dominated early 1960s law school milieu, graduated from Stanford first in her class and served as president of the Stanford Law Review. Greenspan, Rubin and other so-called oracular men of the Bill Clinton era told Born that she didn't know what she was doing and would cause a financial crisis. How must that have felt to a woman who was more intelligent, dedicated and, in the end, on point in her assessment that too few people were controlling too many futures and options and thus were endangering not only Wall Street but potentially everyone in a global market? The article doesn't focus on Greenspan's sexism but on his ego, which he predictably is trying to protect, along with his false legacy as "The Oracle." In the end, Greenspan will go down historically as the Fountainhead of Failure.
