Not only are many profs forced to work on term contracts often at
poverty-level wages, with developing technology many more profs will be
replaced by stars delivering lectures from remote sites on TV:

Michael Sandel will be one of these stars. His lectures on justice
certainly do bring into question many. features of markets and points out some
of the problematic relationships between markets and morality. Some of his
criticisms of Rawls seem well taken as well. I gather economists think of him
as misrepresenting their views and the subject, including Herb Gintis. His
response I find remarkable. This fellow used to be a sort of Marxist and
co-authored a good book on schooling in America.There seems to be no analysis
of markets in relation to capitalism in his critique of Sandel. What do others
think of Sandel?
When I was back teaching it was Nozick who was regarded as one of the keener
critics of Rawls.
