Using a political economy framework to analyze the current problems
facing US post-secondary education, The New Limits of Education
Policy tackles the questions surrounding the future of higher
education. This study provides an explanation as to why improvement
of teaching and learning is not a high priority for the
stakeholders involved. Roger Benjamin explains why heightened
recognition by the State of the importance of human capital in the
knowledge economy will create the external conditions that will, in
turn, create the need for an altered incentive system for these
stakeholders. He goes on to make a case for additional positive
incentives that would reward behavior that improves teaching and
learning. The political economy framework used here suggests that
post-secondary education is a common pool problem (CPP) that may
soon become a permanent crisis - a tragedy of the commons. The
popular consensus that the post-secondary education sector, the
venue for enhancing human capital, is not doing a good enough job
is now combined with the prospect of continued rising costs and
declining resources for colleges and universities. Anticipating a
national debate about the CPP, Roger Benjamin emphasizes the need
for evidence-based decision making to assist leaders in improving
quality and reducing costs. The New Limits of Education Policy is
an eye-opening, critical read for anyone with a vested interest in
the future of higher education, including policy makers,
administrators, and students and scholars of economics and public
policy.
