We let the MBAs take over. Our culture has been consumed by the idea that it’s ok to say and do absolutely anything in the pursuit of a dollar

Thank Reagan. When he deregulated the banks he gave a blank check to a bunch of third raters who’d gone to small time banks because they knew they couldn’t cut it anywhere else.

If I ever invent a time machine, I’m making a few pit stops on my way back in time to cap Hitler, and Milton Friedman and his friends are on the list. He’s the misanthrope who popularized the idea that the only duty of a company’s leadership is to deliver profit, and any other pursuit is a disservice to the shareholders. This is known as the Friedman Doctrine.
