[Governor Dinwiddie]

Hertz once was a good company. Then, like the downfall of most companies in this century, the MBAs got hold of it and applied their pointy headed "business theories", thus running it into the ground.

Andrew Carnegie was one of the greatest leaders of American business. He was a builder. He was a maker. He was an industrialist. He was a thrifty hard nosed Scotsman, and rich beyond anyone's wildest dreams.

Andrew Carnegie in his long life never, ever, not even once met an MBA let alone hired one.

The Carnegie libraries are a national treasure.

[Rockingham]

Carnegie sold to J.P. Morgan and retired in 1901, well before most MBA programs were even established. You have a point though in that Carnegie and other business builders large and small focused intently on the details of their businesses, while MBAs tend to try to fit various ideas to a business without properly understanding the business. That often goes wrong.
