http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/03/01/college-the-great-unleveler/.....some reviews: Thomas E. Mann, author of It’s Even Worse Than It Looks...“Degrees of Inequality is a trenchant analysis of how our severely dysfunctional politics has undermined one of the foundational pillars of the American Dream. Mettler powerfully and convincingly demonstrates how partisan polarization and plutocratic biases have shaped higher education policy in recent years and why reform is so urgent. An engaging and essential read for citizens and policymakers alike.”...."Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)"
“Mettler delivers a broadside to for-profit universities and the politics that enrich them. The author spent eight years researching and writing her withering attack, and her data is devastating…. A thorough and deeply troubling analysis of a quiet but ominous threat to democracy.”
