Exactly wrong.
The established corporate hierarchies these institutions service -- economic, political and social -- come with the very clear parameter the free market is to be avoided at all costs.
Elites are educated from day one that maintaining their elite status is totally dependent upon avoidance of market freedoms. They know this truth.
You will NEVER hear them question the fundamental premise of whether elites have the right to use the organized violence of government to bend "the people" to their will.
I don't think Bush the younger learned how to be an a**hole at Yale. I think he learned it by following his pappy around. At Yale what he did was join in society with those that had similar backgrounds. The school had nothing to do with it, except that it formed the lattice upon which they built such a potent mess.
