      I've been reading the Case Against Education by Bryan Caplan and it's astonishing how little even top students remember from their college majors, let alone ancillary classes. It may be that the era of broad erudition is an illusion.

      I'm a BC fan. I'm also a fan of 'great books' liberal arts education. These arent necessarily incompatible ideas.

      Have you read it? There's certainly some tension there.

      Caplan attempting to convince the reader that his own job is a sinecure created by a confluence of accidents that wouldn't exist in a rationally organized society, while using arguments developed by him and others holding similar jobs, is cute.

      That's not true. He doesn't think academic research is a waste. The book doesn't address people who get PhDs because of course those produce value.

      I'm not sure what would go into the calculation of net in this case. He looks at being a professor as a job like any other and a PhD is occupational training for that job.

      But what's the opportunity cost of getting a PhD if your goal is a job that requires a PhD?

      I'm kind of more worried about the positive externalities here. Most of the economic value of academic research goes uncaptured by the people who undertake it.
