Abstract

In this analysis, the author argues why free college may not soon happen, and might not be the most pressing challenge in the United States. The author also inquires if the cost of attending college is really the main barrier to unlocking the documented benefits of higher education. In reality, the challenge and policy solutions may be more complex.
