Each year the TIME Magazine names the Person of the Year, or the most important of all human living on this planet. This year the prestigious award goes to Ben Bernanke, the Chairman of the US Federal Reserve. Bernanke is at his second term in charge of the Federal Reserve as he was nominated by Barack Obama after being nominated by George Bush back in 2006. The TIME Magazine reads that the award was handed to Ben Bernanke for his continuous fight against the depression, for his good decisions that ensured the economy will recover rather than deepening.
TIME’s Magazine 2009 Person of the Year, Ben Bernanke, was born on December 13th, 1953, and he is a shy man and a nerd. At least this is what the TIME Magazine says. Well, Mr. Bernanke graduated from the Harvard University while his Ph. D. in Economics comes from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and how can you not be a nerd when you come from MIT? I guess you’ve all seen the story about the Copenhagen Wheel that featured earlier on our website.
Ben Bernanke was a professor almost all his life as he taught at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, at the New York University, and at Princeton University between 1979 and 2002. He is a truly great man and if the economy is recovering then we have to thank Ben Bernanke, TIME Man of the Year 2009.

What a freaking joke. The man -who was drunk off the idea of easy credit- helmed the ship that crashed into economic disaster and is now “man of the year” because he managed to salvage some of the wood from shipwreck he caused.
