PPE says it all really. Philosophy, Politics and Economics is little more than a course in sycophantic sophistry with a thin veneer of pseudo-scientific bollocks thrown in for good measure. It was developed specifically for civil servants – everything the aspiring apparatchik needs! – and it has been argued – by Oxford’s own Professor Geoffrey Evans – that the course’s success is a self-perpetuating feature of the class system.

Apart from scientific (the epidemiologist Richard Wilkinson has done more to warn against the dangers of class than any political philosopher of the last 50 years) and practical degrees like agriculture and engineering (it would only take 10 Bucky Fullers to change the world!) the vast majority of degrees are bullshit; just part of the self-perpetuating filtration system which ensures that powerful remain powerful and the working class remain voiceless.
