I'm not sure I see under what system classics - or any field of academic work - wouldn't have to make its case to *someone.* We don't farm our own food, we don't build our own buildings. We're going to need, at some point, to exchange our classics for someone else's bread.

It's neither a wish nor a program. I know that people will cling to the idea that certain jobs are more valuable than others for many years to come, but I disagree with that idea.
So here is the issue - you have a system with limited resources, but people have unlimited wants. Who gets what? Who produces it? How is it delivered? And which wants don't get filled, because again - there are always more wants than resources to fill them.
