This from an interview with Allan Meltzer published in the current issue of the Minneapolis Fed’s quarterly: “I think Chairman Greenspan does not have some overriding view of the world that he tries to impose on the data.

As reported in Alan Ebenstein’s recent biography (2001), “Mr. Fluctooations” emerged as Hayek’s nickname at LSE in the 1930s—because he so often used that word, pronouncing it each time with a heavy Austrian accent. And his lectures on industrial fluctuations were accompanied by a full complement of graphics that depicted the economy’s capital
