The Golden Passport

byDuff McDonald

Duff McDonald investigates Harvard Business School and its influence on modern capitalism. Through the institution's history, curriculum, faculty, alumni, and case-study method, he examines how a particular model of management spread across corporations, consulting, finance, and public life. The book credits the school's reach while criticizing its role in elevating shareholder value, executive authority, and market-based thinking above broader responsibilities. McDonald asks whether elite business education has delivered the leadership it promises—and how an institution that trains powerful decision-makers should answer for the economic system its graduates helped build.
