One of the things that I enjoy about the LSE lectures is their ability to find extreme and provocative speakers who present sometimes very extreme ideas, to an audience that takes them apart with courtesy and precision. It's nice to listen to real argument rather than shouting and volume.
Bhide surprised me by being a Harvard economist with some really interesting extreme views. For instance, the argument that money market funds are a bad idea and should be prohibited. The lecture was interesting, and it will get me to either borrow or by the book. His Harvard Business Review precis indicates it will be well written.
