BONUS: Ben Bernanke on the Federal Reserve and MIT's Andrew Lo on Financial Theory

The Bernanke Lectures

Before joining the Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke was an academic economist and professor at Princeton University. Last year, he returned to his roots with a series of four very thorough and valuable lectures on the history of the Federal Reserve, the conduct of monetary policy, and the financial crisis.

Financial Theory with Andrew Lo

Andrew Lo is one of the leading minds in the world when it comes to hedge funds and financial engineering. His course for MBAs at MIT's Sloan School of Management on financial theory is definitely worth a look for those interested in the field.
