“these people have not been appropriately socialized in many cases to take their place within the economic system they don't have the educational capacity to perform at the level of skill required of an advanced capitalist society problem lies not intrinsically in the economy it may well in this case be a socio-cultural problem which may come in fact from a political unwillingness to pay for education”
