I don't think your comment addresses my main point though. Even if we outlawed MBAs, we'd still have a business environment in which companies that maximize their profitability potentially outcompete more customer-centric companies. A profit-maximizing strategy potentially gives them more money, which in turn lets them lower their prices, ramp up faster in newer markets, etc. I don't think it matters much whether or not people have MBAs. Market dynamics will exist regardless of whether we teach people about them. I think your real complaint lies elsewhere in the system.
