• TITLE: The Mass Production of the Lumpen Intelligentsia: An Economic Model of the “Woke” Movement in U.S. Higher Education

  AUTHORS: João Ricardo Faria, Franklin G. Mixon Jr.

  KEYWORDS: Economics of Higher Education, Critical Theory, Intersectionality, Economic Theory, Political Correctness, Woke Ideology, Soft Graduate Programs

  JOURNAL NAME: Theoretical Economics Letters, Vol.13 No.6, December 22, 2023

  ABSTRACT: This study relates the infiltration of cultural Marxism into American colleges to the creation and growth of soft graduate programs associated with the ideologies that form the modern generation or wave of the critical theory movement, referred to here as the “woke” movement. The formal economic model in this study asserts that the growth of these soft, politically correct graduate programs leads to increasing university costs and tuition, growing bureaucratic offices, and greater faculty pay and employment. The spiral in costs and tuition can only be restrained through an intertemporal optimization process.
