Indelible and extraordinary, a powerful reckoning with just how far weve allowed reality to drift from our ideals. Tara Westover, New York Times Book ReviewWere told that universities are our greatest driver of social mobility. But its a lie. The Inequality Machine is a damning expose of how the university system ingrains injustice at every level of American society. Paul Tough, bestselling author of How Children Succeed, exposes a world where smalltown colleges go bust, while the most prestigious raise billions every year where overstretched admissions officers are forced to pick rich candidates over smart ones where black and workingclass students are left to sink or swim on uncaring campuses. Along the way, he uncovers cuttingedge research from the academics leading the way to a new kind of university one where students succeed not because of their background, but because of the quality of their minds. The result is a calltoarms for universities that work for everyone, and a manual for how we can make it happen. Humanizes the process of higher education . . .
