Socrates in the boardroom
What I’ve been reading
(2009-10-29)
3. Socrates in the Boardroom: Why Research Universities Should be Led by Top Scholars , by Amanda H. Goodall. I actually laughed when I read the subtitle. She discusses fundraising in the second to last paragraph of the book. More generally, you can take this book as a radical attack on economic reasoning: she believes that having a Ph.d. will cause a person to ignore the incentives that face non-Ph.d.-holding individuals in the same position.
