  • In Defense of a Liberal Education
    In Defense of a Liberal Education FAREED ZAKARIA W. W. NORTON & COMPANY New York • London For my children, Omar, Lila, and Sofia We are drowning in information, while starving for wisdom. The world henceforth will be run by synthesizers, people able to put together the right information at the right time, think critically about it, and make important choices wisely. —E. O. Wilson Contents 1: Coming to America 2: A Brief History of Liberal Education 3: Learning to Think 4: The Natural Aristocracy 5: Knowledge and Power 6: In Defense of Today’s Youth Notes Acknowledgments In Defense of a Liberal Education 1 Coming to America IF YOU WANT to live a good life these days, you know what you’re supposed to do. Get into college but then drop out. Spend your days learning computer science and your nights coding. Start a technology company and take it public. That’s the new American dream. If you’re not quite that adventurous, you could major in electrical engineering. What you are not supposed to do is study the liberal arts. Around the world, the idea of a broad-based “liberal” education is closely tied to the United States and its great universities and colleges. But in America itself, a liberal education is out of favor. In an age defined by technology and globalization, everyone is talking about skills-based learning. Politicians, businesspeople, and even many educators see it as the only way for the nation to stay competitive. They urge students to stop dreaming and start thinking practically about the skills they will need in the workplace.

  • The Clash Between Keynes and Hayek Defined Modern Economics
    blo gs.lse.ac.uk http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandpolicy/archives/27562 The clash between Keynes and Hayek defined modern economics Nicholas Wapshott discusses the groundbreaking ideas presented by Freidrich Hayek in response to John Maynard Keynes’s positions on government intervention and the free market. Wapshott argues the debate which started just two years after the stock market crash of 1929, both defined, and still resonates within, present-day economic policymaking. Some buildings are imbued with history. For instance, the Old Theatre at the London School of Economics, where I gave a talk the other day on the same stage that Friedrich Hayek made his f irst and most devastating assault upon the ideas of John Maynard Keynes. It is an eerie f eeling, knowing you are standing in a spot where history was made. I kept picturing the scene in 1931 when the young Hayek, at the invitation of the LSE Prof essor of Economics Lionel Robbins, gave f our short lectures on why if a government tries to stimulate a f lagging economy, it may end up causing more job losses than gains. Frie d rich Haye k, o n the 50th Annive rsary o f his first le cture at LSE, 1981. Cre d it: LSE Lib rary Hayek f ailed to deliver a knock-out blow to Keynes, and although he returned to the f ight in the LSE learned journal Economica in the autumn of 1931, the argument about whether it is best to stimulate an economy in the f ace of large scale unemployment or rather, let the market f ind its own solution, has been going on ever since.

  • How the Great American Tax Revolt Crossed the Atlantic1 Isaac William Martin Author's Accepted Version
    How the Great American Tax Revolt Crossed the Atlantic1 Isaac William Martin Author’s accepted version; final publication appears in Modern American History, vol. 2, no. 1 (2019), pp. 107-110 On December 13, 1978, the California property tax rebel Howard Jarvis arrived in the United Kingdom for a meeting with Conservative Party leader Margaret Thatcher. Jarvis was a previously obscure right-wing crank who was enjoying a sudden burst of fame. Just six months earlier, California voters had approved Proposition 13, a ballot initiative of his design that was designed to limit the growth of local property taxes in California. He flew to London at the invitation of the National Association for Freedom, a young advocacy organization sponsored by wealthy Tories and business executives who hoped to establish a militant campaigning organization to mobilize the middle classes against trade unions and the socialist left. He also met with the Institute of Economic Affairs, a right-wing think tank closely aligned with Thatcher’s views that enjoyed extensive connections both to the Conservative Party and to the 1 An earlier version of this paper was presented at the conference on “Britain and America’s Special Relationship: Myth, Reality, or Anachronism,” UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies, February 13, 2014. The author thanks Paul Pierson, Revan Tranter, Stephen Tuck, and Terri Bimes for comments on an earlier draft. The “Great American Tax Revolt” is due to Lester Sobel, The Great American Tax Revolt (New York, 1979). American libertarian milieu. Members of these organizations saw in Proposition 13 a populist political strategy that could help Conservatives win back the government from Labour.2 Thatcher had her own reasons to take the meeting.
