Not for Profit: Why Democracy Needs the Humanities by Martha C. Nussbaum

4.0

I cannot help but feel like there is no better time to read this book than these days. If you don't know, here in Denmark where I live, our minister of education have made this plan for "dimensioning" the university studies - cutting places (or maybe even closing down some of the smaller ones that won't survive a cut of places) in studies with "significant lack of employment after graduation" (mostly Humanity studies like languages, arts, philosophy etc). Kind if want to send this book to her and make her read it.

Yeah, sorry, this review is not really about the book. The main thing is, I think it argues its point really well and that's why I think it should be read. I'm curious to see what we're going to use it for, as I read it for one of my uni courses.
