Are they rich because they're smart? : class, privilege and learning under capitalism

Barnes, Jack, 1940-2016
Books
"'Are They Rich Because They're Smart' explains the sharpening class inequalities in the United States and the resulting conflicts accelerated by today's slow-burning world depression. It takes apart the self-serving rationalizations of a growing layer of well-paid professionals that their schooling and 'brightness' equip them to 'regulate' the lives of working people, who can't be trusted to know what's in our own interests."-- Back cover.
