Editing The Precariat (section)

=== Restoring the Builders ===

Weinstein maintains that stability is essential for intellectual honesty. A scientist must be able to [[Academic Freedom|resist authority and still remain employed]]. Without that foundation, even the strongest institutions risk devolving into performance structures.

Eric refers to mid-20th-century science as an example of a time when careers were durable and inquiry was protected. Restoring the appropriate framework would include dramatically increasing [[Academic Freedom]] and compensation, removing the [[Extractive Elite]] from positions of power to replace them with the [[True Elite]], and returning to an older model of "[[Peer Review]]", where fiercely independent editors run journals.
