The Role of the Intellectual in the Australian Economy

 

 

In 2002 Raewyn Connell and Julian Wood produced an article in the Journal of Sociology called, “Globalization and scientific labour: patterns in a life-history study of intellectual workers in the periphery.” The theme of my article is a critical question of why the role of the intellectual in the Australian economy is ignored or minimised. There have been many articles in the Journal of Sociology  which have skirted around the question, but Connell returned to the question in 2006. The answer can be comprehensively answered by examining the cultural criticisms made by Donald Horne in the 1960s and by examining the sociology of philosophies from Randall Collins in the 1990s. The Australian academy has not come to grips with understanding the answer to the question why the role of the intellectual in the Australian economy is ignored or minimised. If it were the case of such change, Australian universities would be in total revolt against current higher education policies.

 

 

The role of the intellectual in the economy will always spiral but the upward lift is to contract or otherwise employ the intellectual.

 

 

 

 

 

 

We need a change in leadership, those persons (including me) who can bring organisational transformation for the better, because the leadership is inclusive and comprehensive.
