When IT technology increased productivity significantly, there are more goods and services needed to be consume for the economy not slipping into recession.I think Greenspan should have done nothing, at that time, before that time, and after that time. Just let the market determine price of money (interest rate).Greenspan gave his famous speech of "irrational exuberance" in 1997. But some people argued that it was not bubble but properly reflected the fundamental increases in assets' potential future incomes. What should Greenspan have done at that time? Increasing the interest rate preemptively enough without clear signs of inflation?
As the ultimate supplier of money, central bank doing nothing is doing something.
