Dev Patnaik: "Business schools moved to a model that emphasized quick thinking, confident elocution and a style of reasoning that looked more like combat than it did contemplation. Indeed, the entire case study approach values explicit data (economic or otherwise) at the expense of intuition, snappy answers at the expense of thoughtful questions, and competition at the expense of collaboration. Students are rarely encouraged to confess “I don't know, but wonder if…” They're instead encouraged to look like they know the answer, whether they know it or not. We didn't just teach students that economists view people as self-serving with guile. We taught students that they should be self-serving with guile if they wanted to do well in our classes. And we taught them the “soft skills” they needed to get really good at it."

Obamatravel.org helps you sponsor an Obama campaigner to head to a battleground state and do some in-person grassroots work. Why not give a few bucks to help someone get to Nevada or Florida?
