Why we need to stop wasting public funds on education Despite being
immensely popular-and immensely lucrative-education is grossly
overrated. Now with a new afterword by Bryan Caplan, this explosive
book argues that the primary function of education is not to
enhance students' skills but to signal the qualities of a good
employee. Learn why students hunt for easy As only to forget most
of what they learn after the final exam, why decades of growing
access to education have not resulted in better jobs for average
workers, how employers reward workers for costly schooling they
rarely ever use, and why cutting education spending is the best
remedy. Romantic notions about education being "good for the soul"
must yield to careful research and common sense-The Case against
Education points the way.
