The Case Against Education: Why the Education System Is a Waste of Time and Money by Bryan Caplan

5.0

An economics professor at a prestigious university arguing that our current educational system is a waste of time and money is automatically interesting. Add to that the way it is presented is both interesting and backed by data. Loads of data. Ultimately he may not want to agree with the author but you can't say the position isn't backed by data. He even gives a link to a spreadsheet where you can change things and see the ultimate effects.

The other remarkable thing about this book is that the author is very upfront about his biases and offers space where he lets others disagree with him. Two things that just aren't usually done, but should be done all the time.

Highly recommended.
