I always say that if I had a magic educational wand, I would close ALL the business schools. The one at Columbia turned a friend of mine into someone convinced that the markets are always right and that executive pay should never be regulated when she already had a humanities degree from a different Ivy. When I would question any of this, she'd just say that smarter people than she believed this.

Ouch. Intelligence without grounding is wild. I have had a hard lesson in this from “intelligent” Trump voters. Because I remember WWII, had patriotic parents and a fierce teacher of history and civics who said that if we didn’t vote in every election we were entitled to vote in she would come back to haunt us, the aftermath (UN, Marshall Plan), followed by years in universities (sources, sources, sources) and doing music (right editions, precision of all sorts—pitch, beat, etc), Eisenhower was the only Republican I ever voted for. I looked at the Republican Party and saw the greed that underplay most of their thinking. With Reagan I had the end of even considering a Republican in any office. I also saw during 10 years in France what it means to have medicine and free undergraduate school for those who choose it, five weeks of paid vacation a year for everyone. And Europeans do not have business schools in their universities as far as I know. A pity that Tony Judt’s “Social Democracy” has not been taken seriously here.
After severe budget cuts by the State of Florida my beloved Florida State University accepted donations from the Koch brothers. In return they.gave final approval for professors in the school of business to the Koch’s who would teach the glory of a free market. I almost cried when I learned about it. Well regulated capitalism is arguably the best system. Unregulated capitalism is the worst. Free market to the Koch’s and other proponents is that the market does whatever the hell it wants.
Alas, Southern state legislatures are not friends in general to higher education. i used to think it would improve if more college educated legislators were elected, but that doesn't seem to have moved the needle much. It's about the money, don't you think?

The edit function, dear friend progwoman.
In your last line you say, "she'd just way that . . .," when the edit function would let you say, "she'd just say that . . .."
