Von der hinteren Coverseite

In this classic study of higher education, Howard R. Bowen discusses the value of higher education to the individual and society, arguing that the non-monetary benefits so far outweigh the monetary benefits that "individual and social decisions about the future of higher education should be made primarily on the basis of nonmonetary considerations". Written as a response to demands for efficiency and accountability, Investment in Learning is still as applicable today as it was twenty years ago.
