    Everyone in a boardroom is typically a university educated economist. The CEO of Mcdonalds didnt go to a culinary school.

      Everyone in a boardroom typically has an MBA, which generally involves only marginal and niche courses in econ, which is largely an abstract discipline.

      What evidence do you have of this? It is absolutely not my experience that any board members have training in economics, let alone all of them. More often than not I see business administration, political science, or some other liberal arts degree.

      He didn’t get an economics degree either. He has an MBA from Harvard.
