BOOK DESCRIPTION

From Malcolm Gladwell’s hit podcast Revisionist History comes a compendium about one of his greatest obsessions: education.




Malcolm Gladwell has long relished the opportunity to skewer the upper echelons of higher education, from the institution of U.S. News & World Report’s Best College rankings to the LSATs to the luxe Bowdoin College cafeteria. I Hate the Ivy League: Riffs and Rants on Elite Education upends the traditional thinking around how education should work and tries to get to the bottom of why we often reward the wrong people. The higher education system follows a hierarchy that was created to primarily benefit top–tier, elite, well–off students, but Gladwell wants to find out how we can do a better job at educating the middle and make education more affordable, fair, and open to all.




Why is Gladwell so obsessed with American education? The foreword and afterword of I Hate the Ivy League explains, framing this carefully curated selection of Revisionist History episodes. If you’ve never listened to Revisionist History, this collection is a thoughtful introduction to the long–running podcast, and if you’re already a fan, it allows for careful re–examination of the important issues at hand: how do we really determine what matters most when it comes to educating our children?




Please note: This collection includes content that has been released in the podcast series.




Praise

"This is an enjoyable and informative listen. A fascinating look into the flawed system of higher education in the United States." —Kirkus Reviews
