This essay looks at the role of public universities in democratizing diverse and thoughtful thinking, and why the importance of these institutions seems to be getting lost in the aggressive capitalism of modern America.
Abstract:
--
Excerpt:
The most efficient system ever devised for the distribution of wealth is a meaningful wage. The most effective means of depressing wages is the mobility of capital, which can move overnight to a more agreeable climate. Our workers- that is, all of us, more or less- are already prepared to understand that, in abandoning America, capital is only obeying the brazen law.
