Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan Dies at 100

Alan Greenspan, the jazz-playing U.S. Federal Reserve chair who was celebrated for engineering a decade of prosperity but later shared the blame for a devastating financial crisis, died Monday. He was 100.

Greenspan died died from complications of Parkinson's disease, said his wife of 29 years, NBC News correspondent Andrea Mitchell.

"To me, he was my husband, who shaped my life from our very first date in 1984," Mitchell wrote. "He had ‘irrational exuberance’ for baseball, the Washington Commanders, tennis, golf, and music, especially jazz. He will be remembered for his brilliance and his kindness. Being his life partner was the joy of my life."
