Save the social sciences

You may have heard that a ministerial decree in Japan is forcing universities to close social science and humanities departments. This is all part of a wider narrative that a degree is only about securing a job. The danger is once it is done in one country it becomes permissible in others.
We are undergoing an office move at the moment (not me), and my colleague Rob Farrow, rescued these old 70s social science texts from a retiring colleague. That would be a good pile to work through.
