Leveraged buyouts. Maximizing profits over people. Astronomical executive pay packages. "Creative accounting." The financialization of everything. And the financial crisis. They are all part of a rogue's gallery of questionable corporate practices that have taken place over the past several decades.

Financial journalist Duff McDonald says there's one thing that binds them all together: Harvard Business School.

In his new book, "The Golden Passport," McDonald casts a critical eye over the business school's century-long history and asks, "Is Harvard Business School complicit in, and even responsible for, the moral failings of American capitalism?"
