Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke is celebrating his 70th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed economists of his generation.
Popular economist Ben Bernanke has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 70th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Bernanke, a cultural icon
Born Ben Shalom Bernanke in Augusta on December 13, 1953, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Bernanke's not just a great economist, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Ben hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Ben Bernanke as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 70.
Happy Birthday, Ben, you're the best!
