...book you frequently take the idea of "disaster capitalism" back to Milton Friedman. So is this his fault? Milton Friedman is held up as really the guru of the modern global market. But my view on Friedman is, I don't think it's his fault in the sense that the role he played was more dictated by history and forces far more powerful than him. I think he was a gifted popularlizer and a gifted communicator, which is one of the reasons why the University of Chicago was so lavishly supported by Wall Street and why his own projects...

When we asked Graham about the conversation, his shame was obvious, and he confessed to the other fault at work that day - his sycophancy, the courtier's habit of trying to win favor with the king by embracing even his most odious ideas. "I think I was just trying to agree with what he said or something," Graham told us. Hitchens may reject Graham's many apologies...
