[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Liberal arts and the social sciences, education, business, law, and policy add are somewhat “adjacent fields,” dependent on critical thinking, research, and problem-solving skills. Writing about the impact of elite education, or lack thereof, does not require “expertise and training in a field of study.” [/quote] Of course Mr. Bruni has a sufficiently broad background to write about elite education. The key word here is "write." Not even I disagree with that. But your original argument was that people with multidisciplinary backgrounds are allegedly better at problem-solving, and by lowering the bar now to "writing," you've shifted the goalposts so far that they're on the opposite end of the field. What background or training does he have to solve actual problems associated with elite education?[/quote]
