Out of Work
Argues the cause of unemployment may be the government itself Redefining the way we think about unemployment in America today, Out of Work offers devastating evidence that the major cause of high unemployment in the United States is the government itself.
Let Colleges Fail
Richard Vedder, Senior Fellow at Independent Institute and Distinguished Professor of Economics Emeritus at Ohio University, provides the hard-hitting instruction manual America needs in order to save its institutions of higher learning. The solutions he proposes are unorthodox. They're tough. They're hard-headed. To some, they might even sound utterly shocking— but they will work. Read this book and discover:What universities can &– indeed, must &– learn from the profit-making private sector;Why big government needs to get out of the student loan business yesterday... and what will happen if it refuses to do so;Why accreditation, though infrequently questioned or critiqued, might actually be unnecessary... or even bad;How privatizing state universities could actually open newer and more affordable finance options;What a healthy voucher/scholarship arrangement could look like;And much, much more...Daring in its analysis, practical in its problem-solving, and thoroughly readable in its prose, Let Colleges Fail is indispensable reading for those who want America's colleges to thrive once again.
Restoring the Promise
American higher education is increasingly in trouble. Costs are too high, learning is too little, and underemployment abounds post-graduation. Universities are facing an uncertain and unsettling future with free speech suppression, out-of-control Federal student aid programs, soaring administrative costs, and intercollegiate athletics mired in corruption. Restoring the Promise explores these issues and exposes the federal government's role in contributing to them. With up-to-date discussions of the most recent developments on university campuses, this book is the most comprehensive assessment of universities in recent years, and one that decidedly rejects conventional wisdom. Restoring the Promise is an absolute must-read for those concerned with the future of higher education in America.

Economic Behavior, Economic Freedom, and Entrepreneurship
This collection of chapters comprises timely aspects of two rapidly growing bodies of academic research: entrepreneurship and economic freedom. Expert editors add to an important field of research, the economics of entrepreneurship, and explore how institutions influence entrepreneurial behavior.

The volume also provides insight into the measurement and value of economic freedom around the world, making it a useful resource for policymakers and practitioners.
Unprofitable Schooling
Most economies advance by simultaneously decreasing costs and increasing quality. Unfortunately, when it comes to higher education, this has been turned on its head. Costs keep rising while quality declines. How has this happened? What can be done? This exceptional volume looks at the issues facing higher education from the perspective of both economics and history. Each chapter explores how the lessons learned from market competition in other sectors of the economy can be applied to higher education in order to bring about innovation, improved quality, and lower costs. The opening section offers a history of for-profit education before the Morrill Act—the federal legislation that funded l...
