Thanks so much for the post, pondering department!
I think in many areas we are asking which one is more important, when we should be asking how these two institutions in society have made it as far as they have.
Under old models, perhaps these two areas failed miserably together. I can't say for sure, but I think a lot of work could be done to see how these areas are bested suited to operate. First, I think they really need to be dissected down to their bones, and basic functions. Then, I would suggest developing a model to define how they could be successful and sustainable. After that, then a good moderate effort be made. Probably an effort that is not designed by the needs of politicians or special interest groups, but let the moderate thinkers do what they do best.
I think both business and education could do with a more sustainable focus, and as the succeeding generations in North America take over, we will have our answer.
It's a tough question, but one worth the work!
