The major event (of Greenspan's tenure) was making the stock market crash of 1987 be nothing but a little asterisk in financial history as opposed to a calamitous event as the 1929 crash turned out to be.

After 1929, so many people had been traumatized by the stock market crash that there was a lost generation.

I've learned that things change. The whole boy band thing almost turned into a stock market crash.

The stock market can be down, but the stock market is not an indication of where people's spirits and enthusiam are, and where their intellectual energy is.

We've been able to achieve great things amid great challenges- including the stock market crash of 1987, the bursting of the stock bubble in 2000, two wars and the September 11, 2001, terror attacks. Alan Greenspan might be thought of as our most valuable economic player.

When my book 'Rich Dad's Prophecy' was released in 2002, most financial newspapers and magazines trashed it because I discussed a looming stock market crash.
