Description
"Drawing on more than one hundred interviews with students, employees, executives, and activists, Lower ed tells the story of the benefits, pitfalls, and real costs of the expansion of for-profit education. Now with a new foreword by Stephanie Kelton ... this ... book cuts to the very core of our nation's broken social contracts and the challenges we face in our divided, unequal society"--Page [4] of cover.
