If Alan Greenspan were Santa Claus, what’s the last thing you’d want for Christmas?

Given his track record, a guide to economic forecasting would have to be the worst present he could bring.

Yet that’s exactly what the former Federal Reserve Board chief delivers in his clueless new book, “The Map and the Territory.” A guide to economic forecasting by Greenspan is about as credible as art history by Mr. Magoo.

At least not everyone in the media is buying his theories.
