BEN STEIN
Renaissance Man
Ben Stein is the closest any man comes these days to being a true renaissance man. His impressive resume includes career achievements ranging from speechwriter for President Nixon to the pop icon who starred as Ferris Bueller’s teacher. An exceptionally gifted economist, his market analysis is sought by companies and organizations across North America. The recent Nobel Prize winner in Economics, George Akerlof, has cited Stein’s securities work as “inspiring”.
Stein has been a poverty lawyer for the economically disadvantaged in New haven, Connecticut where he went to law school, a demonstrator for civil rights in Maryland, a university teacher on politics and the media, and a columnist for The Wall Street Journal. He is the author of thirty books, including the major best seller How to Ruin Your Life, and the more recent Can America Survive.
An extremely well known actor in movies, TV, and commercials, he is perhaps most notorious for his part of the boring teacher in Ferris Bueller's Day Off. That cameo was recently ranked as one of the 50 most famous scenes in American film. His long running hit comedy quiz show on Comedy Central, Win Ben Stein's Money, has won seven Emmies. Stein can be seen regularly as a financial commentator for the Fox News Channel.
Ben Stein offers audiences laughter and insight, occasionally moving them to tears with his touching and endearing anecdotes. Armed only with his curmudgeonly persona and his offbeat, dry delivery, he tackles the economy and tells you how to balance life’s priorities while offering an eye-opening tour of life’s absurdities.
