My theory is when women and lower class men started working as bookkeepers and accountants in post war America a way was need to keep the plumb jobs reserved for the fail sons of the privilege classes.

I could be wrong but while 'business schools' existed before then the MBA as a upper class ivy league thing exactly dates to that time.

Do you have anything to back this up? Or are you looking for a story where none exists?

I ask because this comment seems completely backwards and mostly impossible to implement.

Wasn't it also a time of larger projects being started, which required more coordination? Not that your theory needs to be wrong, it could be amplified.
