I would place more of the blame at the feet of Gramm than I would Greenspan. The crap he authored and got passed into law his last couple of years in Congress led directly to the current financial crisis. Some of the measures passed took a lot of the more esoteric financial vehicles out of the realm of federal governance, leaving the Fed pretty much powerless to do anything about them.
