WASHINGTON — As college courses go, the name — “Reflections on the Federal Reserve and Its Place in Today’s Economy” — sounds ordinary. Then there’s the name of the lecturer: Ben Bernanke, chairman of the Federal Reserve.
Four times, starting today at George Washington University, Bernanke will take a break from his day job to revisit the academic life he led before coming to Washington a decade ago.
For a Fed chief who has set new standards for public accessibility, the lectures mark another first: None of Bernanke’s predecessors helped teach college students while chairman. The lectures can be seen live starting at 10:45 a.m. MDT at , with recordings available later at the same website.
