No one has mentioned Ivan Illich's Deschooling Society yet? I obviously haven't read Bryan Caplan's book that's discussed in this article, but from the looks of it, none of his ideas are new. They've been explored before. I find his title interesting though, the problem isn't education, but schooling. Another commenter touched on this, but if you're actually interested in this subject check out Illich's book. It's a lot more radical than this hard to understand piece. Another thing, at the end why is the concept of appearing as "prestigious forager teachers" instead of the actual "dominating bosses" listed as a benefit? Maybe I'm not reading it right. tl;dr: read Illich.
