"Let me end my talk by abusing slightly my status as an official representative of the Federal Reserve System. I would like to say to Milton and Anna: Regarding the Great Depression. You're right, we did it. We're very sorry. But thanks to you, we won't do it again."
on Friedman's 90th
And Greenspan was (/is secretly) pro-gold-standard...
These people are smart... if only they were taught Austrian Economics... then again, if that was the case they'd never be Fed chairman

Any "system" dependent on human reliability is inherently unreliable.
