Funny. I studied a lot of capitalism while earning my MBA, and all it did is make me move left, because my jaw hit the floor when I studied macroecon and finance and realized how bug-fuck insane the GOP is when it comes to those fields. The GOP understands economics and finance about as well as they understand biology and climate science.

THIS.

My undergraduate thesis was a defense of outsourcing and offshoring American labor, saying companies didn’t need more regulation or oversight because it stifled business. After going through graduate school and getting an MBA, I shifted to the left and couldn’t believe I’d been so wrong. I’m more liberal now after business school than I was as a garden variety college student. Funny how that works.
