MBAs are reading Plato to get the big picture. I got a mention at the national AAA meeting a few years back wtih my class project. Terry Malloy Meets Plato. Terry Malloy is the character played by Marlon Brando in On the Waterfront. Plato imagined an ideal society of Rulers, Warriors, and Workers. The Hoboken docks that Malloy inhabits are Plato gone wrong. The class is asked to reflect on what happened and why. 

NOw that idea seem to be going more mainstream. I was ahead of my time and did not know it!
