[…]Auerbach, portrays Greenspan as a real-life Professor Marvel — who, through double-talk or “garblement,” transformed himself into a mighty economic wizard à la Oz. Auerbach strongly implies that Greenspan’s 1977 Ph.D. from New York University was obtained in a few months with little more rigor than a matchbook-cover art degree and that Greenspan has kept his Ph.D. thesis secret in order to protect his vaunted academic reputation.
Although Auerbach’s evidence is circumstantial, it certainly is provocative. For years, NYU told the public that, at Greenspan’s request, the thesis was locked away from public view in a vault at its Bobst Library.
