Abstract

Beyond hope, for breath. One of the effects of political and economic liberalism – in Italy and generally in the Anglo-Saxon dominated West – is a classist educational system, in which obtaining diplomas and degrees becomes increasingly easy, triggering an inflationary dynamic that in turn results in social inequality and cultural ignorance. A recent book by Davide Miccione, La congiura degli ignoranti. Note sulla distruzione della cultura, shows in a clear, dramatic, and vivid way the roots of this catastrophe of knowledge and the conditions and ways still possible to stop it.
