Dune. Why do you think we had an economic crisis in 2008?
Greenspan knew those "investments" or financial instruments were bogus, however, his philosophy was when enough people lost enough money others would stop investing and the "invisible hand" of the marketplace would take over.
The problem was too many people jumped into the game and that's why we heard them lamenting "too big to fail". Simply stated the "invisible hand" was invisible for too long.
Greenspan's philosophy was shown to be the garbage it truly was. He made a career out of being wrong and others in positions of power followed along. Capitalism at it's finest.
