A policy wholly informed by boomers‘ stereotypes of younger generations being too stupid or hedonistic to achieve the sort of financial freedoms they got during the post-WW2 boom years.
Also sacrificing the idea of a „liberal“ education that seeks to enlighten and build character on the altar of capitalism and pragmatism.
