Ben Stein can be seen talking about finance on Fox TV news every week and writing about it regularly in The New York Times Sunday Business Section. No wonder: Not only is he the son of the world-famous economist and government adviser Herbert Stein, but Ben is a respected economist in his own right. He received his B.A. with honors in economics from Columbia University in 1966, studied economics in the graduate school of economics at Yale while he earned his law degree there, and worked as an economist for the Department of Commerce. Ben Stein is known to many as a movie and television personality, especially from Ferris Bueller's Day Off and from his long-running quiz show, Win Ben Stein's Money. But he has probably worked more in personal and corporate finance than anything else. He has written about finance for Barron's and The Wall Street Journal for decades. He was one of the chief busters of the junk bond frauds of the 1980s, has been a long-time critic of corporate executives' self-dealing, and has written three self-help books about personal finance. He frequently travels the country speaking about finance in both serious and humorous ways, and has been a regular contributor to the AARP's Modern Maturity (now AARP: The Magazine). Website: www.benstein.com Phil DeMuth was valedictorian of his class at the University of California at Santa Barbara in 1972, then got his master's in communications and a Ph.D. in clinical psychology. An investment psychologist with a longstanding interest in the stock market, he has written for The Wall Street Journal, Barron's, and Forbes.com, as well as Human Behavior and Psychology Today. His opinions have been quoted on theStreet.com and Fortune Magazine. He is president of Conservative Wealth Management in Los Angeles, a registered investment adviser to high-net-worth individuals and their families.
