The culture of robber barons

Has this been linked everywhere already and I just missed it? Because it's good. One of George Bush's professors on his famous pupil:
In those days, Bush belonged to a minority of MBA students who were seriously disconnected from taking the moral and social responsibility for their actions. Today, he would fit in comfortably with an overwhelming majority of business students and teachers whose role models are celebrated captains of piracy. Since the 1980s, as neo-conservatives have captured the Republican Party, America’s business education has also increasingly become contaminated by the robber baron culture of the pre-Great Depression era.

Bush is the first president of the United States with a Master’s of Business Administration (MBA). Yet, he epitomizes the worst aspects of America’s business education.



(And sorry for the long absence; I've been a tad busy lately. Hopefully things will calm down soon.)
