Deborah Meier taps into the malaise of contemporary society: "They're the 'best and the brightest' with generic smarts and a willingness to ignore the 'special interests' of labor and management, not to mention parents and kids-a new breed with nothing to learn. History can teach them nothing.... They represent a mindset that has been a disaster for American economic prosperity, for the auto industry, the banking business, the publishing industry, not just schooling.... Short-term greed trumped long-term wisdom in American industry just as it is increasingly trumping wisdom in classrooms and schools across the country."
