Poor people are sinners. Commodities are blessings. Money is God." I think that, after a certain age, everyone grasps this very true analogy and realises that so many of us in our American capitalist economy are basically imprisoned by DEBT and INDENTURED to the CREDITOR (Master) until all our debts are paid. But the master keeps providing us all with more ROPE to hang ourselves longer in debt, thereby ensuring that we never claim our financial freedom. Ever wonder why any other economy school of thought is always demonised such as Marxism, Socialism, Communism, and so on. It is simply to keep our society and culture "LOCKED" in our own culture so that we do not venture to ask questions which may cause us to QUESTION AUTHORITY.

Why even begin with it? Because the poor bastards who put in all the time and effort and money to earn a largely useless PhD would get first crack, as a tiny bit of prosocial remediation of their predicament. I explained in the post that it is also a decent vetting mechanism, though not a very good one. The point is not this little issue of faculty screening; it's the big issue of low-cost humanities education with decent faculty pay.

I'm an incredible presence in the classroom. Virtually perfect scores from student evaluation. However, I have a "professional" Master's rather than an academic degree, so I was shut out of any PHD programs because I didn't earn a totally dry and mostly irrelevant degree in Media Studies. still, I can see your need to at least tip your hat toward conventional standards.<br /><br />The thing you don't address, though, is what value this degree will have for the students. I suppose it might be so cheap that they can pursue it simply for the love of learning, which is, of course the best reason. Realistically, though, few people have the leisure for that, and most see the project of college education as at least partly being a means for financial gain. Especially in a world of shady for profit diploma mills, a mere pretty engraved parchment is looked on sceptically, at best, by HR directors. with no accreditation, how do you prove the worth of your education?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7769040720515260759.post-17100013425440044102013-07-24T16:50:49.594-07:002013-07-24T16:50:49.594-07:00That's an example where the term (stimulus) is...That's an example where the term (stimulus) is one the profession (economist) loves to use; I was writing about terms the professions hate to hear.Jamey Hechthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00739823758056342447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7769040720515260759.post-27451847421858580532013-02-05T19:54:21.273-08:002013-02-05T19:54:21.273-08:00Can't you read?
