What is Ben Stein’s career?
Stein started out as a lawyer in New Haven, Connecticut, before becoming a trial counsel for the Federal Trade Commission in Washington, D.C. While living in Washington, D.C., he began teaching at American University. He first offered classes on the political and social content of popular culture. Later, he taught political and civil rights under the United States Constitution at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and libel law at Pepperdine University. From 1990 to 1997, he served as a law professor at Pepperdine.
Stein became interested in politics early in his career. He started off as a speechwriter and lawyer for President Richard Nixon and later President Gerald Ford. Some thought that Stein was Deep Throat, the codename given to the secret spy who provided information that led to the Watergate scandal during Nixon’s presidency. However, Stein rejected the charges, and it was eventually proven that Mark Felt was the true source.
Stein has also been successful as a writer, primarily as a political pundit. He contributes conservative writings to The American Spectator and Newsmax. He has also contributed to The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, New York Magazine, and Barron’s Magazine. He contributed a column to Yahoo! Finance until 2009.
He was also removed from his position as a columnist at The New York Times in 2009 owing to a conflict of interest, as he had recently become a spokesman for Freescore.com, a credit information company. The Times indicated that it would not be proper for Stein to continue writing a business and finance column for them while working with Freescore, but Stein has stated that he believes the termination was prompted by his criticism of President Obama and budget cuts in the Times.
In addition to columns, Stein has written a number of finance and investing-related books, several of which became blockbusters. Some of his most successful works are “Yes, You Can Retire Comfortably,” “Can Americans Survive?” and “Yes, You Can Time the Market.” He has also been on other news and political shows, such as “Your World with Neil Cavuto,” “Larry King Live,” and “The Kudlow Report.”
