“Matthew Klein at WaPo reminds us of the reckless bet that Larry Summers made on interest rates when he was president of Harvard. The Harvard endowment suffered serious losses.

Summers is now being considered for chairmanship of the Federal Reserve, where he would be in charge of interest rate policy.”
