Big time meddler Greenspan is no one to warn us about meddling with the market.

Sir, Alan Greenspan is one of those responsible for the regulations which require banks to hold quite a lot of capital when lending to small businesses and entrepreneurs but allow these to lend to the government against no capital at all. As such he is de-facto one of the biggest market meddlers of our time, and has no moral right to appear in the Financial Times preaching us with “Meddle with the market at your peril” January 26. 

As former chairman of the US Federal Reserve he must be aware that the whole world economy is flying blind, because of those capital requirements… like what would the rate on US treasury be if the banks had to treat citizens and government alike?
