Bernanke, who led the Federal Reserve through the recession, launched his economics blog with the Brookings Institution Monday.
His influence is still huge, however. After just two tweets, Bernanke's account, @benbernanke, has over 11,200 followers. Many reports say Bernanke fetches $250,000 or more for a speech these days.

For the first time in history, a former Chair of the Federal Reserve is blogging. According to Ben Bernanke, his new Brookings Institute blog will be about “economics, finance, and sometimes baseball”. Apart from occasional speaking engagements, the public has not heard much from Bernanke since he left the Fed in early 2014 upon reaching the end of his second term as Fed chair and handing off the reins to current Fed chair Janet Yellen. With Bernanke’s new blog, we may unexpectedly be getting frequent updates from the former Fed chair at a critical time for the Fed as it decides when to raise its key benchmark interest rates, potentially sometime this year.
