<p>Friedman’s intentions were to advocate for what he believed to be a more efficient and ultimately prosperous economic system. If we’re going to point fingers for the Chilean Coup we might as well place the blame on Nixon, a Duke law school grad, and Kissinger, a Harvard graduate school grad. Do you suggest we all turn against Harvard and Duke because of an event that happened 40 years ago (and was very horrific indeed, I’m not trying to make it seem like less of a bigger deal)? If so, why limit ourselves to the Chilean Coup of 72? Let’s go back to just a few years ago and rally against all the top 20+ schools that educated the governmental leaders and Wall Street execs who played an active role in the US’s (and indeed a lot of the world’s) financial ruin. Greed and lust for power have existed since before the concept of a college was thought of, and unfortunately a great education sometimes is not enough to expunge these out of people. I don’t think the rotten apples that pass through these institutions should damage their reputations or those of their visionaries with good intentions.</p>
