Seriously, why teritary education become like this: Poly,
undergrads - Local. Postgrad/Faculty: Foreigners.
something similar:
These landlords were
opposed to cities and to traders in cities. They wanted the trade
for themselves, or they wanted foreigners, such as
the Dutch, the Swedes, or the Hanseatic League, to come to their
estates on the Vistula River, for example, and buy the goods they
produced with serf labor, that is, grain, wool,
hides, lumber, and things of this kind.
As a result, Eastern Europe fell backward into a colonial area. Its
trade and its middle class more or less
vanished. The cities became insignificant, and
trade in the
cities was largely taken over by foreigners and
aliens, many of whom were Jews: this is the origin
of the ghettos and pales of Eastern European cities. Incidentally,
this process is not unique in Poland.
It is very
common in history for a landed group
in control of a society to destroy commercial activity and allow it
to fall into the hands of aliens, as the
Ottoman Empire and the Russians allowed their commerce to be
controlled by Frenchmen and Greeks and various others.
This is a widely
prevalent system.
