No doubt, Ben Bernanke has impressive academic credentials. He was the director of monetary economics program at NBER (National Bureau of Economics Research) - a national academic think tank. Out of the 31 American winners of the Nobel Prize in Economics, 16 of them are NBER associates.
Bernanke also has practical experience outside of academia. He served as a member of the Board of Governors in the Federal Reserve System for 3 years.
Despite his strong academic background, Bernanke doesn't obfuscate. He is not expected to be another Greenspan who make convoluted speeches to the public to make them guess.
When the news broke out last October that Bernanke is selected to replace Greenspan, Wall Street liked the idea. The stock market went up.

The new chief at Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke is a modest, low-profile yet very capable economist. In college, I used a textbook authored by Bernanke. I was very impressed because the textbook made complex economic principles very easy to grasp. I was one lazy student, but I did well in that class because of his textbook.
I have a lot of confidence in Ben Bernanke. He used to reside in Princeton, New Jersey. The people in the local community only knew Bernanke as a mild manner and dedicated man who served on the Montgomery Township (New Jersey) Board of Education.. They didn't know he's a well-respected and well-known economist and a professor at Princeton University.
I have faith and confidence in Ben Bernanke.

我相信人才是有, 不過有沒有被發現. 二戰的 Hjalmar Schacht 也是一代奇才. 雖然惡名遠播, 但他的能力有目共睹
一九九八年十月當金融風暴令巴西及俄羅斯相繼陷於困境、令 Long Term Capital Management（LTCM）這家美國大型對沖基金陷於破產邊緣，危及美國金融體系時，格老及聯儲局迅速透過突然減息、透過拉攏大銀行為 LTCM 提供周轉資金避免風波進一步惡化、避免金融市場出現骨牌效應、最終保住了美國金融市場的穩定。
《華盛頓郵報》著名記者 Bob Woodward 在○一年出版了一本有關格老的傳記，書名叫《Maestro》（指揮家）。Woodward選擇這個書名一方面反映格老本身對音樂的濃厚認識，另一方面則顯示格老能像指揮家那樣在不同樂手（政客）、不同樂章（政見）中遊走協調，最終奏出悅耳的樂曲（良好的經濟環境）。從格老過去十八年的表現來看，他實在是一位不折不扣的 Maestro，他的後繼者有他這樣的功力嗎？
