Lawrence Summers' 70th birthday feted at conference - Harvard Gazette
Briefly

"No one was talking about this, but Larry did, and he single-handedly took that issue from something that education ministers care about to something finance ministers care about. And we all know the power difference between those two posts. Literally millions and millions of girls owe a change in their lives and futures to that speech."
"This is not a roast. The gathering featured panels on Summers' impact on modern finance, labor and public economics, and macroeconomics and policy."
"His trademark probing questions have pushed others to think deeper, while his public positions have made a difference on topics as disparate as the recent rise and fall of inflation, passage of the Affordable Care Act."
