Interesting Q & A with HBS Prof.

I found this an interesting Q & A ( with Prof.Rakesh Khurana (Harvard Business School) :

The notion struck me as odd when compared to the logic of other professions. Doctors save lives; lives are infinitely valuable; so do doctors deserve to be paid an infinite amount of money? Judges administer justice; justice is essential to having a good social order. Should judges deserve an infinite amount, too?

The notion that somehow the logic of a purely monetary conception of value could be transferred to business struck me as odd, especially in a university-based business school. It seemed very unlikely that business education could have been legitimated that way..............."
