Caplan's "The Case against Education" is on my desk. Excellent work, although not complete, missing the part on internal corruption of massive ed bureaucracies. (Besides, they aren't just corrupt, but corrupting as well.) As an "anarchist" he is well positioned to notice that.
Kiitos. Käytämme tätä aikajanasi parantamiseen. KumoaKumoa
