Don't know if you've read this before, but it's an excellent read of Greenspan's ideas.....before he was bought hired by the Fed.

Gold and Economic Freedom
Dr. Alan Greenspan | 1966
The Objectivist

An almost hysterical antagonism toward the gold standard is one issue which unites statists of all persuasions. They seem to sense - perhaps more clearly and subtly than many consistent defenders of laissez-faire - that gold and economic freedom are inseparable, that the gold standard is an instrument of laissez-faire and that each implies and requires the other.

In order to understand the source of their antagonism, it is necessary first to understand the specific role of gold in a free society.....

Yes,Greenspan was a follower of Ayn Rand — BEFORE he sold out to the banksters.

Proving yet again that everyone has a price.
