“The textbook business can be very very lucrative. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke is co-author (from before he was in government) of ‘Principles of Economics’ and ‘Principles of Macroeconomics’ (written with Robert Frank, published by McGraw-Hill) and ‘Macroeconomics’ (with Andrew B. Abel and Dean Croushore, from Pearson). It appears that the McGraw-Hill books are more lucrative, generating $100,000 to $1 million in income for the chairman, who also made $50,000 to $100,000 from Pearson.”
