Business schools are institutions which, a decade after the financial crash, continue to act as loudspeakers for neoliberal capitalism with all its injustices and planetary consequences.
Little seems to have changed, according to Martin Parker. Hence Parker argues in his new book that business schools need to be shut down.
Parker will talk about his new book and Andre Spicer, also a professor at a business school, will give a response before opening to the floor for discussion.
Following the formal proceedings, there will be a wine reception and a chance for further discussion.
