Why is it that ritzy high-dollar schools are social hell-holes that feast on mammon and ignore the good?
“One may see the small value that God has for riches, by the people he gives them to.”
Alexander Pope
Goes for Ritzy colleges as well. Look at which elite university has its branding on this whole fiancial collapse. The greatest irony is that the greatest chronicler of the last great financial collapse, John Kenneth Galbraith, was on their faculty. It seems no one learned anything from it, though.
If you read Plato's seventh letter, addressed to citizens of Syracuse, you will conclude that the founder of modern philosophy would have understood our present ills perfectly. But our elite universities have virtually abandoned the teachings of dead white men, Plato or JKG.
