PERSPECTIVES : Fault Lines in University Education (28 pages Free Download)

Public policy makers across the world need to recognize that the industrial revolution that began in England a few centuries ago was actually a political insurrection. It helped transfer power from the feudal land owning gentry to a machine owning shareholder-investor-entrepreneur class. In Anglo Saxon thinking, industrial corporations are the building blocks of a modern civilization. Therefore, Neo-English ideologies help escort forward industrial revolutions more efficiently.Meanwhile, Anglo American political thinking in the corridors of power continue to draw inspiration from this Anglo Saxon template. Nevertheless, university textbooks make no attempts to explain this shift in political power that occurred after the great industrial revolution. Instead, university textbooks explain political philosophies that were contrived before the industrial revolution changed the entire power dynamic. In Neo-English civilizations, the financial syndicates that control the distribution of money have managed to climb to the top of the food chain and manipulate the political narrative. This observation alone calls for a new medley of political literature and social contract theories that are not currently coming from traditional academic districts. At present, industrial corporations and financial syndicates with the right technical talent pool might be able to manage globalized economies better than politicians with degrees in law and political science. In fact, Anglo American political objective is about making industrial corporations the building blocks of society.
