...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.

There is a perception gap between how different races view our country, but it seems that most of the fault for that has been laid at the feet of blacks.

...Many fault Gross’ occasionally lackluster leadership for the sluggishness of the Harvard College Curricular Review and for the underwhelming new General Education curriculum that it produced. But his tenure nevertheless produced a stunning renaissance in undergraduate advising, including the first comprehensive, fully-funded peer advising program in the College’s history. The Classes of 2010 and 2011 have Gross to thank for the delay in concentration choice and for the College’s formal recognition of secondary fields...
