| Summary: | Bunch presents a deeply researched look at the broken state of higher education in America. He traces the modern history of college in the United States, from the landmark GI Bill and the culture wars of the 60s and 70s, through the explosion in student loan debt that has fueled major social movements. In showing how resentment of college-educated elites morphed into a rejection of knowledge itself, Bunch proposes a new model of college education that works for all Americans. |
