What are you on about, mate? Universities significantly predate even the concept of capital. Not universities as a concept, but specific universities that you can go to today - notably Oxford and Cambridge, but many others in Europe. And their purpose has almost always been scholarship, not employment. Most modern universities stem from institutions meant to find better ways to understand God's work, and perhaps to better worship it. The Catholic Church was the primary "investor" for a long stretch of time, at a time when it was a more powerful "state" than almost any other in Europe.
If you can find me a university free of a capital market I am more than willing to be wrong. The idea of universities generations ago are not at all how they are today.
You have claimed "education has always been about capital markets". I have exained that it hasn't. That we today live in a capitalist society and every single aspect of our lives is touched by capital to a higher or lower extent is a completely different claim.
Furthermore, you suggested that this (obviously false) history of education being driven by capital markets should be taken as a guide to letting capital control our education even more, as if the problem with universities today is that they are not capitalistic enough. The actual history suggests exactly the opposite.
