About this product
Product Information
A college education has become less reachable to a broad swathe of the American public at the same time that the market demand for highly educated people has soared. This affordability problem has deep roots. To explain rising college cost, the authors place the higher education industry firmly within the larger economic history of the United States and present practical policy solutions to this issue. This book is a call to calm the rhetoric of blame and to instead find policies that will increase access to higher education while preserving the quality of our colleges and universities.

Reviews
"[The authors] really know what they're talking about."--Stanley Fish,The New York Times "Robert Archibald and David Feldman tackle the dominant question facing higher education leaders, state and federal policy makers, families and students, and provide striking and surprising evidence and conclusions on the much-debated question that is the title of their book. In the process of proposing a radically new way of financing college and university education, they present an elegant history of how we got here, the financial problems we currently face, and a possible way out of these dilemmas. This eminently readable book warrants the thoughtful attention of all who care (and worry) about the future of higher education."--David W. Breneman, University Professor and Newton and Rita Meyers Professor in Economics of Education, University of Virginia "Robert Archibald and David Feldman write calmly and rationally about an issue that too frequently generates sensationalist headlines, as well as poorly reasoned and counterproductive proposals. Whether or not you agree with the details of their ideas for reforming the way we finance higher education, you will learn from their analysis, question your pre-conceived notions, and think more clearly about how our nation can best assure that a quality higher education is affordable for all who are equipped and motivated to benefit from it."--Sandy Baum, Professor Emerita of Economics, Skidmore College, "[The authors] really know what they're talking about."--Stanley Fish, The New York Times "A book that should be read by anyone with even a passing interest in the answer"--Brian Rosenberg, president of Macalaster College, writing in The Huffington Post "Robert Archibald and David Feldman tackle the dominant question facing higher education leaders, state and federal policy makers, families and students, and provide striking and surprising evidence and conclusions on the much-debated question that is the title of their book.
