More From Joseph Stiglitz
- "The notion that every well educated person would have a mastery of at least the basic elements of the humanities, sciences, and social sciences is a far cry from the specialized education that most students today receive, particularly in the research universities."
- "I grew up in a family in which political issues were often discussed, and debated intensely."
- "Amherst is a liberal arts college, committed to providing students with a broad education."
