Abstract

In the city of Bath (UK) there is a famous Abbey dating from the ninth century. Beside the main doors are two ladders carved into the stone and on the ladders angels are ascending towards heaven. Some angels, who have sinned, are falling down the ladder, but not many. The contemporary secular version of this story is that of education and the knowledge economy.
