In the campus turmoil of 40 years ago, few would have anticipated the current "saturation of higher education with market thinking." His basic complaint was this: Campuses are no longer centers of rebellion. To which a junior at Yale responded:
"How do we rebel against a generation that is expecting, anticipating, nostalgic for revolution? How do we rebel against parents who sometimes seem to want revolution more than we do? We don't. We rebel by not rebelling. We wear the defunct masks of protest and moral outrage, but the real energy in campus activism is on the Internet."
Meanwhile, politics plods on as though nothing has happened.
