How can one be a Marxist and still own a Jacuzzi?

That was the question posed by Mark Albion who was at Wharton West this weekend to strike a dialog with MBA students in an attempt to save their souls.

Mark is an inspirational speaker and has written many books on the topic. I have put his "True to Yourself" on my must read list and cannot wait to get to it.

Mark is a social entrepreneur who has co-founded seven organizations, including Net Impact, and has spoken at over 100 business schools worldwide.  He was a professor at Harvard Business School, was profiled on 60 Minutes and has been called the "savior of b-school souls" by Business Week. He wrote the New York Times Business Best Seller, Making a Life, Making a Living® in 2000, followed by the 2002 3-CD audio series, Finding Work That Matters. He has also been writing a monthly newsletter for the last 12 years that serves business professionals in 87 countries. You can find more info on his website: www.makingalife.com.
