Mr. Winner's main point criticizes the commoditization of education. He satires 'schools' that sell distance learning as capitalist-entrepreneurs marketing the newest technological craze. Winner potrays for-profit corporations that sell education as marketing firms and views free-market trade in learning as straying from the purpose of education. This is clear from the conclusion of the video where he states the companys mantra: 'confidence (not education) is our business'.
Winner does not address the social and economic conditions that lead education vendors to believe that they can succeed using 'just in time' and other product-based business principles to deliver education services.

Introduction to The Mahotma
This will be my philosophy blog!
Much more than demagogy and rhetoric, the Mahotma engages in critical exploration of modern society and science, not for the purpose of promoting his position, but simply to promulgate truth.
The MAHOTMA and The MAHATMA were born on the same day during the same month.
What day would that be?
