Fiction, including novels, plays, and films, can be a powerful force
in educating students and employees in ways that lectures, textbooks,
articles, case studies, and other traditional teaching approaches
cannot. Works of fiction can address a range of issues and topics,
provide detailed real-life descriptions of the organizational contexts
in which workers find themselves, and tell interesting, engaging, and
memorable stories that are richer and more likely to stay with the
reader or viewer longer than lectures and other teaching approaches.
For these reasons, Exploring Capitalist Fiction: Business through
Literature and Film analyzes 25 films, novels, and plays that engage
the theories, concepts, and issues most relevant to the business
world. Through critical examinations of works such as Atlas Shrugged
and Wall Street, Younkins shows how fiction is a powerful teaching
tool to sensitize business students without business experience and to
educate and train managers in real businesses.
