...can’t help but wonder: Where is the love? Would the world truly be better off if Harvard were to stop teaching economics? Humanities departments would burgeon, post-Ec 10 lunch lines in Annenberg would dissipate, and former ec concentrators—no longer wishing to strut down Wall Street—wouldn’t be disappointed when said jobs eluded them.

If the fourth estate of British society crumbles, executives will need more than an authoritative strut and reasurring words to appease cynicism. The British public needs substance behind the self-confident guises of its public institutions...
