> In virtually every instance, McDonald contends, Harvard has obsessively pursued money, sending a disproportionate number of its graduates to consulting firms beginning in the 1950s (it was all but synonymous with McKinsey), to Wall Street in the 1980s and to entrepreneurial start-ups once initial public offerings became the rage in the 1990s — and provided intellectual justifications for its actions.
Is this Harvard pursuing money, or its students pursuing money and prestige (presumably the reasons they went to HBS in the first place--hardly anyone goes to business school primarily because of an intellectual curiosity about management theory)?
