Bell’s review of Taylor

I’m a bit late in posting this, but that’s because I’m a bit late in reading it: BELL’S REVIEW of Mark Taylor’s book.

Like many people, I’ve found Taylor’s recent op-ed pieces (and now a book growing from one of them) to be unilluminating in a number of ways.

However, I think Bell is a bit too quick to dismiss the idea of an “education bubble”. I’m not sure how long the formula of skyrocketing tuition plus ghastly student loan debt can continue. Already I know a dozen or so people with humanities Ph.D.’s and over $100,000 in debt.
