At which point did the MBAs convince us they are suited for more than bookkeeping? Medicine, engineering, architecture and many other things have been slaved to economics and this is presented as the natural order of things. Why?
- acdha 3y agoLook at who gets them and their social status - the worst MBAs I’ve dealt with came from money, went to expensive schools, but … weren’t exactly going to knuckle down for med school or becoming a PE. The MBA was a way to add plausible deniability to the idea that the question of whose opinion matters usually comes down to class. (One notable exception: Scots-Irish guy from a very modest background - unsurprisingly, he worked harder than anyone else I’ve met and took care of the staff)
