Univ. of Wisconsin Professor Makes $170,000 a Year Teaching About the Evils of Capitalism

For one professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the motto of the day seems to be ���Do as I teach, not as I am.���

Erik Olin Wright helms a course at the school called ���Class, State, and Ideology: An Introduction to Social Science in the Marxist Tradition.��� You can probably tell what it���s all about just from that title, but in case you���re still unsure on what it is Professor Wright teaches, feel free to refer to his near-80-page syllabus that describes capitalism as a system that ���generates harms��� and ���generates injustices��� which ���can be broadly grouped under three rubrics: exploitation, domination and irrationality.���

In other words, it is just another college course taught by a success-hating, capitalism-hating communist college professor. Nothing to see here.

Well, almost nothing to see here. It turns out that the good professor earns $170,000 a year to teach about the evils of an economic system built on giving those living under it the opportunity to make a lot of money.

You know, like Professor Wright.

According to The Daily Caller, the tenured (of course) professor���s salary is over $100,000 greater than the median household income earned by Wisconsin residents, and puts him in the top two percent of all American earners.

Marxism clearly ain���t what it used to be.
