Matthew Stewart's The Management Myth[1] is a pretty brutal autobiography of "strategy consulting".

A key insight is the role of business school theorists, particularly Michael Porter.

Porter essentially looked over the fence at economics, saw what the economists introduce as the bad behaviours and outcomes of monopolists, then taught that as behaviour to be emulated.
