Ben Stein

Presidential Speech Writer, Actor, Comedic Economist

Ben Stein is either the world's funniest economist, or the most economically well-trained funny man and he's definitely one of the busiest, most well-received speakers in the world. Ben Stein knows markets and theories and keeps totally up-to-date, hour by hour. He speaks to colleges and universities, businesses, private organizations, and at special events - even parties. Ben can talk about economics, finance, current events and, of course, Hollywood and his experiences there. And any size group is the perfect size. In May 2009, Ben spoke at an audience of 23,000 at a university commencement, and one week later spoke to a gathering of 35 private-equity players. Ben's speeches are always funny, insightful, and loaded with lessons everyone needs to know. He always leaves audiences deeply thoughtful. Most of all Ben loves people. He stays with the group for a long time after his speeches... and he's there before for them, too.
