Paying Up The Remnant with Jonah Goldberg

Beth Akers, senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, joins The Remnant for extreme wonkery on student debt and the economics of higher education.

How can we fix America’s universities? And can anyone match Jonah’s raw disdain for journalism schools?
