  What I was posting was not intended as a general critique of the US - there's a lot that's fantastic about the US. However the way tertiary education works in the US seems broken relative to other places in the world. In particular, saddling swathes of young people with a lifetime of debt service in exchange for an education seems incredibly unfair and the way the debate is framed in the US is around the pros and cons of debt forgiveness rather than a root cause analysis of whether it needs to be so expensive in the first place. The FA is about the value of education and as I take an Aristotelian view that the value of an education is primarily about the fulfillment of the individual first and foremost and the wider benefits that brings to society secondly and almost not at all about being a productive worker I go back to my point that the article just ignores lots of ways in which education can have value.
