Bloomberg – Ben S. Bernanke is going on-line. The former Federal Reserve chairman has completed a book on the financial crisis, that will be published this fall, and is now launching a blog, the Brookings Institution said on Monday.
“Now that I’m a civilian again, I can once more comment on economic and financial issues without my words being put under the microscope by Fed watchers,” Bernanke, 61, who left the central bank Jan. 31, 2014, said in a statement.
