I was searching for a way to express Alan Greenspan’s fall from grace in the eyes of the commentariat; if you’ll recall, a few short years ago Bob Woodward wrote the hagiography Maestro.

Greenspan is now (correctly) blamed for having blown the financial bubble at the heart of the ongoing credit crisis. Plumbing through the Bhagavad Gita, I think I’ve come up with a suitable analogy.  In a few short years, Alan Greenspan has gone from:

“I support the whole universe with a fragment of myself”  (10:42)

to:

“I am death, shatterer of worlds.” (11:32)             <– Chapter 11, no less!
