Will Karnani respond?

" Dear Professor Karnani
 
Your op ed in the Wall Street Journal was incomprehensible to most, saddening to many and ridiculous to several. It generated much comment.

You may have seen a range of responses :

to name but a few.

I was wondering if you would be kind enough to publish a response to all these critics of your position. As a Professor in a respected business school, your voice has the potential to be of great influence.

I will publish your response, if you reply directly to me, otherwise I, and many others, would be happy to see your response on the WSJ or elsewhere.

Many thanks, elaine cohen"
