Bernanke Meets the Press
Kenneth Rogoff, Project Syndicate: 'At the United States Federal Reserve s recent and first-ever public press conference, Chairman Ben Bernanke gave a spirited defense of the Fed s much-criticized policy of mass purchases of US government bonds, also known as 'quantitative easing.'
