Re: [Marxism] Lawrence Summers earned millions from companies he is supposed to regulate

[Jim Farmelant <farmelantj@xxxxxxxx>]

Harvard economics department members who were involved
(and convicted) in the Russian fraud scandal. See:

That was probably the real reason that he was forced to
step down from the Harvard presidency.
