Fareed Zakaria: “This week's book of the week is William Bowen's "Higher Education in the Digital Age," one of the few places where the information revolution has not improved productivity or reduced costs is higher education, but that is all about to change with the rise of online learning. The former president of Princeton explains how education will and should change in the face of these huge technological wins. Conversational in tone and full of wisdom, this is a great book.”
