Translated from Russian
«My American colleagues explained to me that the low level of general culture and school education in their country is a deliberate achievement for economic goals. The thing is, once a person has read a lot of books, an educated individual becomes a worse buyer: he buys fewer washing machines and cars, starts preferring Mozart or Van Gogh, Shakespeare or theorems to them. This harms the economy of a consumer society and, first of all, the incomes of the masters of life—that’s why they strive not to allow culture and education (which, moreover, hinder them from manipulating the population like a herd deprived of intellect).»
Vladimir Arnold, one of the greatest mathematicians of the 20th century.
I can add that the trend has spread around the world.
