„Policy makers, guided by orthodox interpretations of human capital and skill biased technical change theories, assumed that there would be an ever rising demand for a high-skilled workforce to be serviced by mass HE (Anm.: HE = Higher Education). […] Economic efficiency and social justice could be improved hand in hand. Yet it is evident that the number of traditional graduate jobs has not increased at the same pace as the number of graduates and that class bias continues to be present in access to the elite universities and to the higher reaches of the labour market.“
