Why is that bad? I agree that the widespread corruption must be stopped by strict guidelines and perhaps something along the lines of completely anonymous ''double-blind'' wp's, submissions, editing and refereeing. But why is doing the same type of work as your father is suddenly a crime?
I'm skeptical of sons who follow after their fathers' path.
It's fine to do this, but they need to distinguish themselves in some way, which may lead them into conflict with their father (see Alexander and Philip of Macedon).He didn't even try to do that. He's doing research in the exact same field. What a joke.
The father is clearly 10x more talented than him, and still had to go through UCLA and end up at Bocconi. He was pushed to MIT and HBS just because his father's friends are very powerful
