Quotation of the Day for December 3, 2013
"The academic job market is structured in many respects like a drug gang, with an expanding mass of outsiders and a shrinking core of insiders.

- Alexandre Afonso, lecturer in political economy at King's College London, in the post "How Academia Resembles a Drug Gang".
