Less than 500, a little less than $10m, and not publicly traded, but it was still a business and I still had to understand economics to try and run it. Here's a question, if only running a small buisness requires a decent understanding of econ, why would running a gigantic corporation not require such an understanding?

Gates was Harvard Educated in business back in 1973, alongside Paul Allen. Larry Ellison attended 2 years at University of Illinois and went to U of Chicago. His wiki doesn't say it, but he also went back to school. Most of them had at least some decent college level education, and it seems that all of them now have their degrees. Why would they go back if they didn't think they needed them?
