ROI on education
Jefferson thought that an educated populace was the best defense of liberty and democracy in the new nation he’d helped birth. A highly educated workforce is good for innovation and entrepreneurialism: every one of the top 20 innovative countries in the world – except the USA – offers free or very inexpensive college to qualified students. Ireland took a cue from the pre-Reagan University of California and began offering free college tuition to all citizens and a flat-rate Euro 900 per year registration fee for all EU citizens. The result, decades later, is that Ireland has gone from being a backwater economy that was largely based on agriculture and tourism to becoming one of the high-tech and innovation capitals of the world.

 "If you're looking for something that connects the dots between the BP oil disaster, the harm it's done to the Gulf of Mexico and the people paying the price, this book is it. In a clear and compelling voice, it explains the worst environmental catastrophe of our time, then shows the way forward to protect this national treasure, safeguard our future and break our destructive addiction to oil." |
