  Summers on Milton Friedman
Continuing his new career as an op-ed writer, Larry Summers eulogized Milton Friedman in yesterday's Times. I could live without the last couple of paragraphs, in which Summers talks about how he's a greater believer in social justice than Friedman was. (Not sure the citizens of various Asian countries would agree.) Nonetheless, it's a nice piece of writing for Summers—a little more personal and heartfelt than he usually gets.

You do realize that your obsession with Larry Summers is really weird, right?

Another thing - man, you have a huge ego. "I could have lived without" you, a relative nobody who didn't even go to Harvard, passing judgment on a man who's infinitely more qualified and accomplished than you ever will be.

Infinitely more qualified? says who?

In time, Richard's work chronicling Harvard's decline and corruption at the hands of a few individuals who abused the power entrusted them may turn out to be one of the truly valuable counterhegemonic voices of reason in otherwise pretty unreasonable and confused times.
