Everyone has different views on what Liberal vs. Conservative means, but if you were to use these definitions:<p>Liberal:
Promote group-oriented solutions to address economic disparities and historical social injustices.<p>Conservatives:
Promote individualist-oriented solutions to create wealth and entrepreneurship.<p>... you&#x27;d start to see that the author&#x27;s argument is a little circular.<p>&#x27;Education&#x27;, in the author&#x27;s sense of the word, refers to group-oriented institutional education (e.g. traditional universities).<p>So really what the author is asking is &#x27;why do people educated in group-oriented educational institutions promote group-oriented political solutions?&#x27;<p>I think it would be interesting to know where &#x27;self-taught learned people&#x27; sit on the political spectrum?
