from the same Wikipedia article:

He is believed to be less ideologically rigid than Alan Greenspan and has been reluctant to weigh in on political issues. For example while Greenspan publicly supported the Bush tax cuts Bernanke, when questioned about taxation policy, said that it was none of his business, his exclusive remit being monetary policy, and said that fiscal policy and wider society related issues were what politicians were for and got elected for. Indeed, in his undergraduate economics textbooks he somewhat distances himself from the overt economic libertarianism of Greenspan and stresses that Adam Smith was in fact quite concerned about things like relative inequality
