Loss of Greek learning lamented; fingers pointed.

If the carnival spirit of the 1960s and its aftermath and the baneful influence of Michel Foucault and Martin Heidegger contributed to the death of the “formal study” of Greek and Latin, how culpable are Adam Smith, Henry Ford and the laisser-faire capitalism of the preceding seventy years?

It's ironic to blame the influence of Heidegger for the decline in classical education, given that a certain amount of Greek is necessary in order to read and understand him.  ¶ 9:15 PM
