role the university of chicago played internationally because the university of chicago had a very aggressivef attracting students particularly from latin america and this had nothing to do with milton friedman. it wasn't his idea. it was actually a decision that came out of the state department where there was a lot of concern in the 1950s that latin america was moving to the last and moved further and further. the idea was picked up in the head of the program for what became the usaid that they would bring sponsored groups of students to study at the university of chicago economics department precisely because it was so conservative and in fact in this time it was seen as very out outside of the mainstream because the united states was in the grips of keynesianism, all the ivy leagues. the university of chicago was different and they had of this program to bring eventually hundreds of latin american students to study under friedman and his colleagues and that had a tremendous impact on the politics of latin america because when there was the series of military coups in the 70s, there was a,

strongly endorse what is called the calvin principles, they were famously said in 19 cd7 at the university of chicago -- said in 1967 at the university of chicago. ultimately, the expression of views about these really important social issues, including the george floyd situation are in tended to be encouraged and stimulated by institutional neutrality to empower the individual voices of the constituent members. i understand the students and faculty members might say that they do not care about that issue. i would like to read one sentence from the calvin report. -- in arises not from a lack of courage or indifference or insensitivity but respect for free inquiry and the obligation to cherish a diversity of viewpoints. this neutrality is an institution and has a complement of the fullest freedom for people to participate and political action and social protest. some universities now have taken a turn and now some eminent professors have advocated that harbert now take a turn. -- harvard now take a turn. they have asked the faculty to take a turn the make it -- that makes it clear that henceforth the

that harms anybody else or incites violence, but there has been a lot of free speech at the university of chicago there. lisa: do you think there will be any change in response to some of the pressure going forward? david: given the pressure we have seen now, i suspect something will happen, but i don't know that congress will do anything. i think university boards will be more sensitive to these issues, and there will be more security for certain students, but i think there will be more of a move toward an approach were more people are allowed to see what they think without feeling that if they say something that is unpopular, they will be criticized or harmed physically. lisa: besides this issue with bill ackman, he has also been vocal about investing in treasuries. if you are starting to hear this -- i am curious if you are starting to hear this more that certain hedge funds are struggling to get an edge in public markets are just making bold trades on the path of interest rates? how much are you hearing that? david: bill ackman said he generally does not make big macro bets. that is not what
