This is one way in which education, far from being in some ivory tower safely inured from the ‘real world’, is the engine room of the reproduction of social reality, directly confronting the inconsistencies of the capitalist social field.
Education is one of the only fields which directly confronts the Reality of capitalism. Academic rigour and discipline does not mix with hedonic depression. It is arguably the source for neoliberalism's rise & and its fall (due to a stupid population.)
