Business Schools Blamed for Encouraging Worst Behavior in Graduates

Original: Business school is a pox on society and encourages the worst behavior in its graduates: https://www. nytimes.com/2026/10

A new opinion piece argues that business schools are damaging society and actively encourage unethical conduct among their graduates. The article, written by Chris Marquis and drawing on examples from Harvard, Cornell and Cambridge, has drawn attention online, with people debating whether MBA programs reward self-interest and short-term thinking over ethics and public good.

Why now: The criticism of MBA culture resonates amid ongoing debates about capitalism, corporate ethics and academia's role in shaping business behavior.
