Jason Brennan, author of Cracks in the Ivory Tower, joins Erik to discuss:- The fact that students who finish college are actually more pro-market than students who don’t.- Why general education requirements are often pushed by departments that are struggling, and how that leads to rent-seeking.- The idea of “transfer of learning” and why students don’t transfer lessons from their English Literature classes to become better writers in the workplace, even though in theory they should.- Why the cost of college has gone up so much and the incentives that prompt administrators to hire more administrators.- Where he agrees or disagrees with Richard Vedder and Bryan Caplan.- What Jason thinks should happen versus what he thinks will happen to higher ed in the next ten years.Thanks for listening — if you like what you hear, please review us on your favorite podcast platform. Check us out on the web at www.villageglobal.vc or get in touch with us on Twitter @villageglobal.Want to get updates from us?
