David Brooks, writing about the political split between "spreadsheet people" and "paragraph people," postulates thusly:

"I subscribe, however, to the mondo-neo-Marxist theory of information-age class conflict. According to this view, people who majored in liberal arts subjects like English and history naturally loathe people who majored in econ, business and the other 'hard' fields. This loathing turns political in adult life and explains just about everything you need to know about political conflict today."
