The New School: How the Information Age Will Save… af Glenn Harlan Reynolds
Excellent, readable summary of the present bubble in higher education.
Reynolds (who is a member of the faculty of the College of Law, University of Tennessee) argues that American higher education is in danger of collapse due to "bubble" economics, i.e. prices have risen much faster than the value of the product. Nothing new here, if you keep up with the Chronicle of Higher Education, but neatly laid out.
You can't tell by the cover, but this Encounter Broadsides series entry is a mere 50-page pamphlet. The topic though doesn't need too many pages to get its central point across, which is this: The costs of higher education and its institutions are on an unsustainable path. The inevitability of a future crash, or at least painful cutbacks, is all but certain.
Author and law professor Glenn Harlan Reynolds shows us how we got here, what market corrections will probably transpire, and what we can do about it. Students and parents of students considering college should take special note before going deep into debt.… (mere)

Moves along, but its sloppy. If you like his blog you'll like the book. But if you expect a book to have substance beyond personal opinion, "that feels right to me" as a way of evaluating claims, and a mish-mash of whatever topics appeal to the author, well look elsewhere.
