The Case against Education
Why the Education System Is a Waste of Time and Money
Bryan Caplan
In "The Case against Education" Bryan Caplan challenges the belief that education enhances students' skills, arguing that it primarily exists to certify intelligence, work ethic, and conformity. He explains why education spending cuts and vocational education are necessary solutions to a world overflowing with credential inflation. With research supporting his claims, this thought-provoking book may challenge your perspective on the value of education.
