Trade Review"In this first-rate organizational ethnography, Michel Anteby describes the ethos of a premier institution and how it shapes the worldviews and moral rules-in-use of its faculty, staff, and students." -Robert Jackall, author of Moral Mazes: The World of Corporate Managers "Michel Anteby's spare but well-chosen words offer an up-close and personal look at the inner workings of what many call the West Point of American capitalism....
