Modern American capitalism is producing a vast population of under-employed and unemployed yet highly educated people. Gary Roth provides a meticulously researched dissection of this phenomenon.' - Steve Fraser, author of 'Class Matters: The Strange Career of an American Delusion' 'A fascinating analysis that plots the distance between what we think we know about education and what the reality actually is. Cuts through the cloudiness of our long-held illusions.' - Alfred Lubrano, author of 'Limbo: Blue Collar Roots, White Collar Dreams'
