'Indelible and extraordinary, a powerful reckoning with just how
far we've allowed reality to drift from our ideals.' Tara Westover,
New York Times Book Review We're told that universities are our
greatest driver of social mobility. But it's a lie. The Inequality
Machine is a damning expose of how the university system ingrains
injustice at every level of American society. Paul Tough,
bestselling author of How Children Succeed, exposes a world where
small-town colleges go bust, while the most prestigious raise
billions every year; where overstretched admissions officers are
forced to pick rich candidates over smart ones; where black and
working-class students are left to sink or swim on uncaring
campuses. Along the way, he uncovers cutting-edge research from the
academics leading the way to a new kind of university - one where
students succeed not because of their background, but because of
the quality of their minds. The result is a call-to-arms for
universities that work for everyone, and a manual for how we can
make it happen. 'Humanizes the process of higher education . . .
Fascinating stories about efforts to remediate class disparities in
higher education' New Yorker
