A riveting and timely intellectual history of one of our most important capitalist institutions Harvard Business School from the bestselling author of The Firm With The Firm financial journalist Duff McDonald pulled back the curtain on consulting giant McKinsey Company In The Golden Passport he reveals the inner workings of a singular nexus of power ambition and influence Harvard Business School Harvard University occupies a unique place in the public s imagination but HBS has arguably eclipsed its parent in terms of its influence on modern society A Harvard degree guarantees respect An HBS degree is as the New York Times proclaimed in 1978 the golden passport to life in the upper class Those holding Harvard MBAs are near guaranteed entrance into Western capitalism s most powerful realm the corner office Most people have a vague knowledge of the power of the HBS network but few understand the dynamics that have made HBS an indestructible and powerful force for almost a century As McDonald explores these dynamics he also reveals how despite HBS s enormous success it has failed with respect to the stated goal of its founders the multiplication of men who will handle their current business problems in socially constructive ways While HBS graduates tend to be very good at whatever they do that is rarely the doing of good In addition to teasing out the essence of this exclusive if not necessarily secret club McDonald explores two important questions Has the school failed at reaching the goals it set for itself And is HBS therefore complicit in the moral failings of Western capitalism At a time of pronounced economic disparity and political unrest this hard hitting yet fair portrait offers a much needed look at an institution that has a profound influence on the shape of our society and all our lives
