I was going to say, I did't see any opposition to capitalism :)
Thanks for posting this, people need a reminder how varied different "schools" of thought can be.
I think some of the very educated at some institutions are more likely to mistake their shared love of insulated bureaucracy, for being non-committed or having disdain for capitalism.
The main thing that struck me was the way so many multi-billion-dollar companies could learn a thing or two from this institute when it comes to the financial management skills necessary to host old web archives indefinitely without any ads, annoyances, or other friction.
In this regard, these academics really put the most aggressive capitalists to shame when it comes to some very worthwhile stewarding of assets.
Whenever you see a big company fail to keep an archive on line, you know at least one person making that decision (doing that disservice) didn't do that well in school. Regardless of what their transcript or resume looks like, their most appropriate headgear is a duncecap.
You're linking to the home page of a website, but I think you meant to link to one of the blog posts, which I found after a few minutes of searching:

Sorry, my bad

I'll take a mortarboard over that any day.
