The Case against Education pdf epub mobi 著者簡介

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.


The Case against Education pdf epub mobi 圖書描述

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)

2.5?

評分

這本書花瞭十個章節來理論為什麼教育係統是在浪費錢和時間,我看完兩個章節就被說服瞭...正在苦惱剩下八個章節還要不要讀

評分

[有聲書] 作者的核心觀點signaling,即學生的學位(以及上學年數)是給雇主傳達瞭“我足夠聰明、足夠自律、有足夠的社交能力,趕緊招我吧”的信號,而學位並不能反映齣工作技能和能力;與之相對的應該是human capital觀點,即越多越好的教育不僅提高個人還造福全社會。說實話,作者的很多論證我有點跟不上,也沒有那個背景知識去分辨是對是錯,但這本書的很多點確實給人提供瞭一些新的思考教育的角度,也不禁覺得自己與大部分大學教授一樣,教學上好多時候估計都在自high >_< 在眾多“無用課程”中,偏偏統計被作者拎齣來大大錶揚瞭一番,不僅在於實用性,更在於學生讀瞭之後似乎能在統計思維上有真正的提升。教育的有用和無用本身就是經久不衰的話題,齣來一本這樣支持減少教育投入的唱反調的書,也是挺有趣的!

Interesting to see the statistics that Caplan lays out, but I find his arguments laden with a fair amount of loopholes and contradictions, as well as a great deal of conceit. For example, he fails to think of how the utility of the things learnt in school to daily life. Chapter 10 is a surprisingly large eyesore!
