Jon Shelton, Associate Professor and Chair of Democracy and Justice Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay and Vice President for Higher Education of the American Federation of Teachers-Wisconsin, challenges the 'education myth' by arguing that education alone cannot overcome economic and social inequalities in society. They discuss the evolution of public education, the redefinition of 'human capital,' and the lack of significant change in wages despite the increase in college degrees. They also explore the value of education versus having a home for economic mobility.
