Abstract
Why do we keep funding universities--indeed at a skyrocketing rate? What do we expect to get from our tuition, tax subsidies, and mammoth student loan schemes? These questions and more are taken up with all due scholarly regard in _Unprofitable Schooling,_ a very useful volume edited by Todd J. Zywicki and Neal P. McCluskey and commissioned by the libertarianish Cato Institute in Washington, DC. The editors of _Unprofitable Schooling_ have sagely assembled fourteen authorities with backgrounds in education history, education policy, economics, and law. Divided into three parts and eleven chapters plus an introduction, _Unprofitable Schooling_ is the go-to book for anyone who wants to understand, in depth, the debates raging about why, and even whether (there are dissenters from the skeptics in the book, which ironically makes it very unlike academia itself), the academy is in such a sorry state.
