Introduction to Labor Studies: My first-hand account
The hostility of labor to capital puzzles me. Where would the jobs come from?
From the Chronicle of HE: Totems in America:
We are faced here with a profusion of double standards. These days, honorary
degrees are unfortunately mainly exercises in appealing to the vanity of
celebrities. Denying one to a celebrity who already has more than a dozen may
wound his vanity—but it is surely just a scratch, no matter how much Mr. Kushner
wails. On the other hand, colleges and universities award honorary degrees when
they are not just looking for crowd-pleasers, to people whose lives and actions
are exemplary and who warrant emulation. In that sense, boards of trustees
would do well to follow Mr. Wiesenfeld’s lead. They should be asking more
questions about the people routinely sent up for their approval. They would
find that Mr. Kushner is far from the only one picked more as a totem of
political correctness than for his actual accomplishments.
