“Years ago, I used the one textbook that consisted of primarily Great Books authors for my research paper course and saw that in the edition I started using contained selections from Adam Smith and Karl Marx but when the next edition came out Adam Smith had been removed and Karl Marx retained. I wrote the textbook author and asked him why he removed the author who has proven historically true and retained the one that has been historically discredited. He wrote back that he had to consider sales and that meant considering what his market wanted and since his market was academics and school teachers he had to omit Adam Smith and keep Karl Marx.” Bruce Gans.

An academic is someone who uses complicated methods and close, logical reasoning to reach the wrong conclusion.
