Now liberal arts is too often a soft major designed to provide a way for kids to party away college cash and still come away with a participation trophy. Way back when Liberal Arts were for smart people who wanted to hone their critical thinking skills and use the wisdom of past cultures to do so. It doesn’t surprise me at all that a philosophy BA from the 60’s or 70’s was able to grasp economics so thuroughly.

You are right. Liberal arts used to be a very honorable degree for exactly the reasons you mention. There are still a handful of colleges where this is still mostly true because they have not allowed themselves to be submerged into the leftist sewer.

Hillsdale College in Michigan is probably the best known example, but there are a few others.
