RYANN LIEBENTHAL at Books Inc. BerkeleyJoin local author Ryann Liebenthal at Books Inc. Berkeley for a reading and discussion of her urgent investigation of student debt, Burdened! College costs more today than ever and is worth less. Tuition at public colleges has more than tripled in the past 50 years. Over the same period student debt has grown from virtually nothing to more than $1.7 trillion, second only to home mortgages. Skyrocketing student-loan burdens are leading an entire generation to put off the traditional milestones of adulthood: buying homes, getting married, starting families, and saving for retirement. The burden weighs heavier on women and black Americans, and with almost 10 percent of student debtors now over the age of 60, it is a crisis no longer limited to the young. Ryann Liebenthal’s Burdened tells the maddening story of how the power plays of legislators and presidents, the commodification of higher ed, and the rapacious practices of for-profit colleges and private lenders have created today’s student-debt lava pit. As the notion of student-loan cancellation percolates into the political mainstream, Liebenthal offers a deeply researched, sweeping narrative of our broken system. Rather than give in to despair, she boldly charts a way out, offering hopeful solutions to this seemingly unfixable problem.  A trenchant examination of how higher education became unaffordable for all but the wealthiest Americans. . . . Liebenthal’s remarkably lucid policy discussions are accompanied by penetrating big-picture analysis. This incisive cri de coeur brings clarity to an ostensibly intractable problem.” -Publishers Weekly, Starred Review “Burdened is the book on student loans I’ve been waiting for—the book I would send to anyone who just doesn’t get it. It’s a clarion call for reform and an urgent reminder: even though we’ve normalized staggering amounts of student debt, it doesn’t have to be this way. If you have student debt, this book will feel like turning on the lights.” -Anne Helen Petersen, author of Can’t Even: How Millennials Became the Burnout Generation “America’s student debt crisis is a man-made scandal, one that has benefited a few while burdening millions. Painstakingly researched and powerfully told, Burdened is an essential history for anyone with a stake in American higher education—and that means all of us.” -Paul Tough, author ofHow Children SucceedandThe Inequality Machine “Blistering and impossible to put down, Burdened offers an eye-opening look under the hood of a system that has crushed the dreams of millions of people while also documenting ongoing attempts to transform it. Read this book and prepare to be activated.” -Astra Taylor, co-founder of The Debt Collective “A clear and concise guide to why the American student lending system came to be, how it spun out of control, and what an alternative system could look like. Essential reading for borrowers and policymakers alike.” -Malcolm Harris, author ofPalo Alto: A History of California, Capitalism, and the World “The student debt crisis is not an accident. Burdened will help you understand why.” -Sara Goldrick-Rab, author ofPaying the Price: College Costs, Financial Aid, and the Betrayal of the American Dream Ryann Liebenthal is a writer and editor living in Oakland, California, who has reported extensively on the student loan crisis. She has written for Mother Jones, n + 1, and the New Republic.
