Education was supposed to empower us. Join economist and author of Human Capital: The Tragedy of the Education Commons, Guy Standing, as he argues the modern education system has been corrupted by market logic. Credentials have replaced curiosity, while debt has replaced opportunity. AI has made all this far worse, as students enter university without basic writing skills. Standing argues for an education system rooted in social cohesion, democracy, and the enhancement of individual freedom.
