A Liberal Education

The Social and Political Impact of the Modern University

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Enlisting a natural experiment, global surveys, and historical data, this book examines the modern university's evolution and its impact on social and political attitudes across the world. The authors conclude that university education has a profound liberalizing effect, greater than that registered by social class, gender, or age.
