For the record, I’m not American nor live in the US, but I have a 19-year-old son who started attending the University of Chicago this year, studying economics. Just the tuition itself is $70k. My husband and I are lucky enough to be able to afford it - I still believe it’s an outrageous amount of money to attend college.

    As long as he doesn’t end up subscribing to the Chicago school of economics, but I have the impression that the University of Chicago has moved on and that even there it’s only subscribed to by the loonies these days.

    But whenever someone says they studied economy in Chicago I still get suspicious.

    Ironically, the influence of the Chicago school is probably why tuition is so expensive. Supply and demand, baby.
