throwback to the old days

so i'm sitting in this small business conference desinged to help business owners network, learn more about government programs, etc. and this speaker form the University of Rochester Business School gets ups to give his schpiel. he's talking about leadership and all that jazz, and starts talking about, of all things- prisoners' dilemma. The whole two by two matrix of risk and reward, to rat out your accomplice or keep your mouth shut. He wanted to know who was familiar with the scenario, and i was the only one one. what- no other poli sci majors in the room? everyone is furiously taking notes about risk versus reward matrix, yada yada yada. maybe i was the only one who found it ironic that the dean of a business school was sitting here dicussing political theory as a motivational tool to business owners... ?
