I believe the author is wrong about GDP contribution of free tuition: "You know, it’s 50,000 dollars for tuition at NYU and it’s zero at Humboldt University in Berlin. So NYU adds catastrophic amounts of GDP per capita and Humboldt adds nothing." Granted, there are several approaches to calculating GDP but none of them ignores the government spending.
