Ben Bernanke made a few dollars on the speech circuit after his time at the Federal Reserve and now he’s looking for a new gig.
Rather than putting his money printing skills to use, he’s running for the Vice-Presidency of the Amercan Economic Association. There are 8 people running for 4 positions, but I like his chances.
I doubt Bernanke ever runs for true economic office, he never seemed to warm up to Washington.
