Oh without a doubt Alan Greenspan! He was the first one to put flashing neon sign on the markets and turn something boring into a full-time casino, the world has never been the same again!

Definitely not the guy who oversaw the greatest amount of inflation in my lifetime.
Bernanke: let’s just slam rates to zero for years and years. No consequences ever

Volcker was a fuckin man, man.

Janet Yellen was so good they only let her have one term.

Since Volcker isn’t on the list, it’s definitely JPow with Yellen as 2nd. Greenspan turned market into a casino, and Bernanke is a dovish bitch who kickstarted the whole ‘too big to fail’ bs that embolden the banks to fuck up the system even harder.

Bernanke easily. 2008-09 was horrific. Citi stock fell to $1. Bank of America $2. $30 trillion was wiped out of the economy. That crisis shook the world. Four million home foreclosures by 2010. Hundreds of banks failed.
A second depression was averted.

I love how Trump didn’t renew Yellen’ term because she was normalizing (raising) rate and Powell just picks up where she left off.

Have to go with Bernanke. Low rates rock… I honestly don’t get the love Powell gets on this sub; higher rates and lower inflation are great for retirees, but for the greater public it seems to result in a weaker job market and lower volatility for alpha… those would be great for retirees but for young people it doesn’t seem that great. Makes me think this sub has more retirees than it first appears.
That said, I think Powell did a great job getting us out of steep inflation and bubbles… just disagree with perhaps the extent and longevity of the higher rates… everyone is getting crushed under the weight of the economy unlike the early 2020s

Greenspan for the name, Bernanke for The Onion article, Yellen ‘cause lady, and JPow for the memes.

I think Janet has a crush on you!
Volker will always be the GOAT.

Volker will never be topped.
*sees stagflation*
*cranks interest rates up to 20% so that nobody buys anything*
*economy hard resets*
*wins cold war*
