The book explores the ongoing crisis in higher education, highlighting issues such as soaring student debt, reduced public funding, and the erosion of tenure. It examines the shift towards adjunct labor and the contentious debates over the value of the humanities versus skills-focused instruction. These challenges are interconnected and reflect a broader conflict between the pursuit of knowledge for its intrinsic value and the commodification of learning in contemporary American universities.
