Hanson, Heath, and Thornton point to academics themselves-their careerist ambitions, incessant self-promotion, and overspecialized scholarship, among other things-as the progenitors of the crisis, and call for a return to "academic populism," an approach characterized by accessible, unspecialized writing, selfless commitment to students and teaching, and respect for the legacy of freedom and democracy that the ancients bequeathed to the West.
