" "Those who get their hands on a professorship never let go and can afford to build their own power system: the privileges and prestige associated with teaching allow them to cultivate interests, and thus being a university professor can become a way to obtain commissions, consultancies, contracts, contacts and jobs useful for private studies. Without any exchange of money, but only through the exchange of favours and kindness, a system of power is consolidated that cuts out those who have no power. (p. 199)

Sono sicuro che non si debba essere elitari. Ma l'idea che siccome chi c'è ora non sta lavorando bene, sia sostituibile da chiunque perché tanto uno vale l'altro, è un'idea pericola per la costruzione di una Società. L'idea che il denaro venga visto come un simbolo di peccato, come qualsiasi gradino che distacca dalla povertà o dalla semplicità possa essere un gradino che ti allontana dalla purezza, questa è un'idea molto pericolosa.
