Prolific author and owner of the popular alternative financial blog “Of Two Minds” Charles Hugh Smith discusses his latest book “The Nearly Free University and the Emerging Economy”With the soaring cost of higher education, has the value a college degree been turned upside down? College tuition and fees are up 1000% since 1980. Half of all recent college graduates are jobless or underemployed, revealing a deep disconnect between higher education and the job market. It is no surprise everyone is asking: Where is the return on investment? Is the assumption that higher education returns greater prosperity no longer true?
