Ben Bernanke has half a year left on his term as chair of the Federal Reserve, and at this point it is not certain whether he will be asked to serve another. Bernanke has said that he expects the economy to pick up later this year, and perhaps his future as chair depends on whether he is right or not. David Wessel, economics editor of the Wall Street Journal, assesses Bernanke's tenure in this short video, and says Bernanke "did a great job in saving us from something that could have been a catastrophe."
