[@RickyLaddieBuster]

Professor Zingales's talk is disparaged by the report that it was about celebrating the virtues of market capitalism. Actually most of his speech dealt with ways people can prompt corporations to be socially responsible -- through consumer pressure and through employees' asserting themselves. He gave an example of a company which turned down Defense Department contracts when its engineers refused to work on something that would be used as a weapon of war. He called upon graduates to fight, both in the political arena and in the workplace, for decent values. Related to the same theme, President Robert Zimmer said: “You will be called upon to act, to speak and to lead. And like so many University of Chicago graduates who have come before you, you will approach this challenge of leadership empowered by your University of Chicago education.”

I guess google and youtube would not recommend this video as mush, and the view number seems to confirm that.
