“Move over, Ben Bernanke. Mario Draghi is taking center stage. The European Central Bank president is overtaking the Federal Reserve chairman — at least for now — as the central banker with the most influence on the global economy and markets. Bernanke and Draghi already have nicknames worthy of economic superheroes. Bernanke is ‘Helicopter Ben’ because he once referred to the Fed’s ability to rescue the economy with a ‘helicopter drop’ of cash. And Draghi is, perhaps inevitably, ‘Super Mario.'”
