Journal Article
The math mandarins
2016
Overview
Every advanced society has professionals who know more about some things than the rest of us. My concern is that mathematics mandarins aren't content to stick to their scholarship. Rather, they take it as given that their intellects entitle them to dominate much of our educational system and set priorities for the greater society.
