What We Are Reading Today: What’s the Good of Education?

Authors: Stephen Machin & Anna Vignoles  

Volumes have been written about the value of more and better education. But is there sufficient evidence to support the commonly held belief that we, as individuals and as a community, should be investing more in education?

This book explores that question in unprecedented detail, drawing on empirical evidence from an impressive array of sources. While much of the focus is on the educational system in the UK, the book offers lessons of international applicability.
