What none of them learned at their business schools is that actual, enduring profitability requires a deep commitment to and habituation of a definite ethics—in other words, that true wealth creation is the result of tremendous dedication to rational principles that have to be learned and practiced. They never learned the practical necessity of practicing integrity and justice in dealing with others. They never learned the power of intellectual honesty—the ability to recognize wishful thinking and emotional bias in oneself. They never learned that making money is an exercise in focusing steadfastly on the facts of reality, of actively engaging the rational mind, of possessing a dedicated, virtuous drive to produce.
Business students never learn the ethics of moneymaking because business schools have never invested in identifying and developing such ethics. There are no courses, for instance, explaining the meaning of integrity and showing students precisely how practicing such integrity is a necessity of wealth creation.
