I'm not sure which class at business school is teaching everyone that "If you can get away with it do it! Have zero shame!" because it's probably time to remove

  No, no, no. This isn't taught in college. It's taught in Elementary School when students learn about the world leaders and take two seconds to discover their actual backgrounds and where their power and wealth truly came from. It's learned while watching movies like Wolf of Wall Street where the beautiful protagonist fucks everybody else, living a lavish and perceivable happy lifestyle, before getting "caught" and suffering virtually zero consequences for his or her actions. Then, after being learned at an early age, it is reinforced time and time again in the stories of entrepreneurs who make billions immorally and similarly suffer zero consequences.

    I agree with you but I would like to point out that this is not Elementary School's fault. It's society's fault and Elementary School is when we first see the effects of this phenomenon, also some (most?) people will only get out from their caves at a later point in their lives.

      Agreed. Local relevance outweighs global arrogance.

    The fact that people watch Wolf of Wall Street and read it as an example to be emulated is very telling. By the end of the movie he’s in a hateful, bitter relationship, crashing cars into shit because he’s strung out on quaaludes and yet this is called “virtually zero consequences” because the consequences are not coming from an external authority. It’s the substitution of paternalism for morals and money for happiness.
