@smaran @litstudies This is what I’ve been writing about the past couple years. It’s crazy-making to have on one hand a clear sense of mission and value for #humanities or #liberalArts education, and to be confronted with the wall of #neoliberal ideology on all fronts from university administrators who are full-throated #MarketFundamentalists at this point. Further, with universities increasingly run by people with Higher Ed Administration degrees rather than scholar-teachers, we are doomed.

@pluralistic Thanks for this, it's useful and desperately needed.

"Vote with your wallet" is part of the "market it harder" solution mindset to market failures. And it Does Not Work.

I'd only started to realise this in recent years. One mention from about a year ago at HN:

It's also helpful to remember that private enterprise also has a regulatory capture problem, though there it's called the #PrincipleAgentProblem or just straight up #fraud

And it's taken seriously when it's enacted against stokcholders and financiers.
