Interview with Professor Lee Elliot Major on social class and education

Interview with Professor Lee Elliot Major on social class and education
Q: Does he think the working classes actually value the education that is provided to them?
He asserts that all parents want the best for their children, but the fulfillment of aspirations often depends on the reality of achieving them.
Interview with Professor Paul Seabright on religion and the divine economy
Q: Do you think many religions see themselves as a business?
Absolutely. All religious movements must manage their revenues and costs to survive, regardless of their motives, and this requires business-like planning.
Interview with Professor Paul Seabright on religion and the divine economy
Q: How do religions gain their power?
Religions gain power by creating communities that fulfill social needs, and they manage to appropriate a share of the benefits that these communities create.
Interview with Professor Paul Seabright on religion and the divine economy
Q: Your research suggests something quite different, that we are not experiencing a worldwide secularization process at all, that actually religion is alive and well. Is that a fair point to make?
Yes, while religion is declining in some areas like North America and parts of Western Europe, it remains thriving in many other parts of the world, such as Eastern Europe, Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
