Currently, I am reading Martha Nussbaum"s "Not for Profit: Why Democracy Needs the Humanities." A book review will have to follow; however, in light of News International's sponsorship of schools (Academies) in the United States and England,

and the current investigation of the Koch brothers in the United States--I have to think Prof. Nussbaum may be on to something.

(Ps. The Koch brothers are as rich as Bill Gates, their father founded the John Birch Society and I, personally, am beginning to feel an almost a feudal sense of entitlement to the very rich developing in the world.)
