CNN host and best-selling author Fareed Zakaria argues for a renewed commitment to the world’s most valuable educational tradition.The liberal arts are under attack. The governors of Florida, Texas, and North Carolina have all pledged that they will not spend taxpayer money subsidizing the liberal arts, and they seem to have an unlikely ally in President Obama. While at a General Electric plant in early 2014, Obama remarked, "I promise you, folks can make a lot more, potentially, with skilled manufacturing or the trades than they might with an art history degree." These messages are hitting home: majors like English and history, once very popular and highly respected, are in steep decline."I get it," writes Fareed Zakaria, recalling the atmosphere in India where he grew up, which was even more obsessed with getting a skills-based education. However, the CNN host and best-selling author explains why this widely held view is mistaken and shortsighted.Zakaria eloquently expounds on the virtues of a liberal arts education—how to write clearly, how to express yourself convincingly, and how to think analytically. He turns our leaders' vocational argument on its head. American routine manufacturing jobs continue to get automated or outsourced, and specific vocational knowledge is often outdated within a few years. Engineering is a great profession, but key value-added skills you will also need are creativity, lateral thinking, design, communication, storytelling, and, more than anything, the ability to continually learn and enjoy learning—precisely the gifts of a liberal education.Zakaria argues that technology is transforming education, opening up access to the best courses and classes in a vast variety of subjects for millions around the world. We are at the dawn of the greatest expansion of the idea of a liberal education in human history.

Technically, I give this book a 3.5 score. I did like it and it was worth the time. It's well written and it's short. The case Zakaria argues is simple: is college worth it? For the most part, he has some good ideas and evidence of college grad value. However, it's just not quite enough to convince me that it should be held in such high esteem.Don't get me wrong. I have two master degrees and I thought college was valuable. However, my student debt and current job would argue the opposite. We're all wondering about the true value of a 4-year degree given the non-stop tuition hikes and questionable job prospects post-graduation. If you had a child today, chances are by the time they're 18 you will be staring down $300,000+ in college tuition for a decent school. That's where tuition and the economy is going these days according to the experts. That's a lot of money to spend on a speculative future.I think Zakaria's big task was to give solutions or options to make college a good choice. He needed to jump more into the intrinsic and extrinsic value. His quote about Jeff Bezos needing execs that can write well was a step towards this. People need to be T-shaped workers: a little width (broad knowledge of related subjects) and quite deep (narrow, specialized knowledge one masters in that field).Elon Musk has a better answer. I know that personal accounts are hardly good evidence, but the man runs four history-making companies. There is some value in this. He writes:“It is important to view knowledge as sort of a semantic tree — make sure you understand the fundamental principles, i.e., the trunk and big branches, before you get into the leaves/details or there is nothing for them to hang on to.”If liberal arts colleges and Zakaria expanded on that, I think a stronger argument for a liberal arts college could be made for both intrinsic and extrinsic value.
