is there an ESSENTIAL READS list for us non-liberal arts folk who share the Lefty vision but are, say, med students who don't know much about history or politics?

Because you were with Sam on the Majority Report story on Warren's B's attempt@ loan forgiveness (she's run on this before and jumped ship, with no explanation.) Here's my comment, with 2 books. I've read the first and cannot recommend it enough. The 2d one is now on my list. 3 references for you here. @Sam Seder & @MichaelBrooks & team (how come you never intro the team???) I've had a serious student loan problem: it's been forgiven for my 100%VA Disability. IRRELEVANT, EXCEPT THAT I KNOW WHAT'S UP! This is the most predatory system in the U.S., loans get severely inflated, it's the only time you cannot get bankruptcy, and usually, if your debt is forgiven, you are taxed on this amount as earned income. Let me interject that numerous studies show that very disproportionately, minorities and first generation students are affected. MOST IMPORTANTLY:many of our state Constitutions provide for extremely affordable if not free higher ed; the ECONOMY will thrive when we do this, ; and we actually desperately need many careers filled that MUST be filled by people with higher ed. I would like to refer you to 3 things: The Student Loan Scam by Alan Collinge - an excellent, eye-opening quick read (you must get it used, I hate to say it, Amazon); 2) StudentLoanJustice.org or on FB, where all the state chapters are as well. This is the largest group in the U.S., AND, you will be surprised to find that they advocate bankruptcy BEFORE forgiveness, for a number of reasons. 3) The welfare of our society, our economy and our standard of living all depend upon us improving our higher ed system: not just the price. I think an extremely important, recent book on this was showcased on C-SPAN, Book TV. The author gives a quick rundown on it and an APPEAL TO THE PRES. CANDIDATES: David Kirp, The College Dropout Scandal, shown 1/26/2020 & 12/7/2019. This show is another eye-opener! I've put this book high on my list.
