Bernanke Blinder

Friday, June 6th, 2008

Alan Blinder, born in 1945, is an American economist working with the faculty of Princeton University. He’s done a lot on his time, including acting as advisor to John Kerry over the unsuccessful 2004 bird for the American presidency. He has been providing sound economic policy advice to important men and women across the country for years.

Ben Bernanke, born in 1953, is yet another American economist, and is currently serving as the chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve, succeeding Alan Greenspan. More conservative than Greenspan, he prefers to keep his policies outside the sphere of politics, which many people find laudable. He’s doing a good job of things in the Reserve so far.

Together, the Bernanke Blinder duo worked to come up with a banking model in 1988. They wanted to simplify the system and managed to come up with a model that introduced equilibrium to economic matters.
