I think the race question is somewhat different. because there is so much overt and covert discrimination, credentialism becomes a path out for racial minorities.
I think the assumption that the more PhDs we have, the better is a questionable one. the amount of people with doctorates has risen but i don't think that has brought positive political developments. my only qualification to that view is that if you look at the birth period of the Soviet Union, there was a large dearth of people who understood the system, especially the monetary system. I think if there had been more people who truly understood money among the upper echelons of the Bolsheviks, things might have turned out significantly different. -- -Nathan Tankus ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
