图书描述

Despite being immensely popular--and immensely lucrative—education is grossly overrated. In this explosive book, Bryan Caplan argues that the primary function of education is not to enhance students' skill but to certify their intelligence, work ethic, and conformity—in other words, to signal the qualities of a good employee. Learn why students hunt for easy As and casually forget most of what they learn after the final exam, why decades of growing access to education have not resulted in better jobs for the average worker but instead in runaway credential inflation, how employers reward workers for costly schooling they rarely if ever use, and why cutting education spending is the best remedy.

Caplan draws on the latest social science to show how the labor market values grades over knowledge, and why the more education your rivals have, the more you need to impress employers. He explains why graduation is our society's top conformity signal, and why even the most useless degrees can certify employability. He advocates two major policy responses. The first is educational austerity. Government needs to sharply cut education funding to curb this wasteful rat race. The second is more vocational education, because practical skills are more socially valuable than teaching students how to outshine their peers.

Romantic notions about education being "good for the soul" must yield to careful research and common sense — The Case against Education points the way. (less)

著者简介

I'm Bryan Caplan, Professor of Economics at George Mason University and blogger for EconLog. I am the author of The Myth of the Rational Voter, named "the best political book of the year" by the New York Times, Selfish Reasons to Have More Kids, and The Case Against Education. I am currently colloborating with *Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal*’s Zach Weinersmith on All Roads Lead to Open Borders, a non-fiction graphic novel on the philosophy and social science of immigration, and writing a new book, Poverty: Who To Blame. I've published in the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic, American Economic Review, Economic Journal, Journal of Law and Economics, and Intelligence, and appeared on ABC, Fox News, MSNBC, and C-SPAN. An openly nerdy man who loves role-playing games and graphic novels, I live in Oakton, Virginia, with my wife and four kids.

Bryan Caplan是一个论证非主流观点的天才,不管你同不同意他的结论,他的写作读起来畅快无比

[有声书] 作者的核心观点signaling,即学生的学位(以及上学年数)是给雇主传达了“我足够聪明、足够自律、有足够的社交能力,赶紧招我吧”的信号,而学位并不能反映出工作技能和能力;与之相对的应该是human capital观点,即越多越好的教育不仅提高个人还造福全社会。说实话,作者的很多论证我有点跟不上,也没有那个背景知识去分辨是对是错,但这本书的很多点确实给人提供了一些新的思考教育的角度,也不禁觉得自己与大部分大学教授一样,教学上好多时候估计都在自high >_< 在众多“无用课程”中,偏偏统计被作者拎出来大大表扬了一番,不仅在于实用性,更在于学生读了之后似乎能在统计思维上有真正的提升。教育的有用和无用本身就是经久不衰的话题,出来一本这样支持减少教育投入的唱反调的书,也是挺有趣的!

trolling with bountiful quantitative studies lol. i m convinced. i especially like the part where he confessed that some data he used r practically guesswork. zero chance of the policies proposed in the book will be implemented though. will read up all his works.
