The United States has the highest college dropout rate of any industrialized nation, at 40 percent. In a commentary for the Chronicle of Higher Education, economist Alex Tabarrok argues that rather than pushing for everyone to go to college, we should concentrate on providing opportunities for those who decide not to go.

Guest: Alex Tabarrok, Bartley J. Madden Chair in Economics, George Mason University
