Pub Day! My new book The Almightier is out today. Already the top new release in Amazon’s money section, it’s a history of money you haven’t heard before: how money came from religion, eventually broke free from religion and how money became its own morality. And how maybe we can do better.

I graduated college some decades ago, but I remember thinking even then that four years was one year too long. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed the hell out of that fourth year, but I didn’t need it.
There are likely many majors in which a 3-year degree can deliver >95% of the value for 75% of the time and cost. It's one of the most promising experiments to improve the value proposition of college. The most vocal critic: the American Association of University Professors.
