WHERE THIS COUNTRY STANDS

Continental and institutional rigor

These countries emphasize the ideological dimension of the Greenspan legacy — faith in market self-regulation, sometimes linked to Ayn Rand's influence — and place particular moral weight on his 2008 admission as a rare act of accountability from a central banker.

BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Technocratic-Germanic framing: coverage emphasizes regulation and monetary discipline—core values of the German economic model—at the expense of analyzing the redistributive social effects of Greenspan's policy.

Preference for admission and individual accountability: German press heavily weights Greenspan's acknowledgment of error, granting his confession moral weight that structures the narrative more prominently than in other media systems.

Limited coverage of American domestic political dimensions: articles devote little attention to pressure exerted by successive administrations on the Fed, centering analysis on Greenspan as an autonomous actor rather than situating him within institutional context.
