Bad Education

What if the true power of education isn’t just in what you learn—but in how it shapes the economy itself? Bad Educationdives deep into the hidden economic engine behind our schools, universities, and training systems, revealing how education has become one of the most important—and misunderstood—forces shaping inequality, opportunity, and global prosperity.

From the surprising reasons why some degrees pay off and others don’t, to the real economics behind student debt, online learning, and the “skills mismatch,” this book blends pop economics with sharp social insight. Whether you’re a student, parent, policymaker, or just curious about why education feels broken (yet more essential than ever), Bad Educationoffers a compelling, data-driven roadmap to understanding—and fixing—the system that touches us all.
