<p>The bigger rush, though, i being able to cheat in your ethics class: now THAT&#8217;s Corporate Social Responsibility!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>University of Chicago GSB treats us to a podcast with alum Brady Dougan, now the head of CSFB (Credit Suisse First Boston), giving a speech on how much change there is in banking &#8212; how the numbers of deals and complex deals and so on goes from eight in a year to eight in a finger snap. And he tells the students they should get into banking because it&#8217;s so exciting and they&#8217;ll see so much change.</p>
<p>Some of that change, of course, being that the grads who go to work for a major bank will get laid off and lose their jobs. Or go through the equal stress of having to lay off others. (Unless they&#8217;re trained not to stress out &#8212; as good MBA students are, of course, of course &#8212; because if all accrues to &#8220;shareholder value,&#8221; the economy grows and there are opportunities to trade the one job for another.)</p>
<p>Search for the Chicago GSB series on iTunes if you want to find it. Or, you can get it at <a href="http://ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?i=21506878&#038;id=129950226">this URL</a> from the iTunes store (it&#8217;s free &#8212; you need iTunes software). Be prepared to also listen to Dougan drop the names of countries he&#8217;s been in the way some people drop the names of famous people they&#8217;ve dined with. Hard to say if it&#8217;s unassuming or trying to get all these GSB newbies to sign up for jobs at CSFB.</p>
