The Higher Learning in America: A Memorandum is a book written by Thorstein Veblen, an American economist and sociologist. The book is a critical analysis of the American education system, particularly higher education, and its role in society. Veblen argues that the higher learning system in America has become overly commercialized and is driven by profit motives rather than a pursuit of knowledge. He also critiques the hierarchical structure of universities and the emphasis on prestige and status rather than academic merit. Veblen suggests that the education system should be reformed to prioritize the pursuit of knowledge and the advancement of society rather than individual gain. The book is a thought-provoking critique of the American education system and a call for reform.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
