Author, economist and TV celebrity Ben Stein gives his take on the current state of education in the United States.
You may know him best for his deadpan delivery in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, or his offbeat game show, "Win Ben Stein's Money." But this active thinker is also a major contributor to current discussions and understanding of business, ethical and social issues in the world of finance, and the political and social content of mass culture. Come hear this polymath speak about the many economic, political and social issues confronting us today - The Commonwealth Club of California
Ben Stein is a lawyer, economist, and commentator on finance (and a well-known actor and Hollywood personality).
Stein served as an economist at the U.S. Department of Commerce. He has been a longtime contributor to Barron's and a columnist and editorial writer for the Wall Street Journal. He has also written extensively about finance for New York magazine and the Washington Post.
In addition to writing for Yahoo! Finance, he currently writes a biweekly column on economics and finance for the New York Times and appears weekly on the Fox News network commenting on finance and economics.
He is the author of several personal finance books, including How to Ruin Your Financial Life, Moneypower: How to Make Inflation Make You Rich, Financial Passages, and - with Phil DeMuth - the best-sellers Yes, You Can Time the Market, Yes, You Can Be a Successful Income Investor, and the forthcoming Yes, You Can Still Retire Comfortably.
Stein is Honorary Chair of the National Retirement Planning Coalition, and lives in Los Angeles, Calif.

Really? Which scientific papers describe how evolution has been falsified by DNA evidence?

0:31 "Don't know history don't know geography... don't know anything except how to get high."
That's a lot of running of the mouth for a person who headed a film based on peddling pseudoscientific nonsense.

This ones for you Ben Stein!
"Numerous are the academic chairs, but rare are wise and noble teachers. Numerous and large are the lecture halls, but far from numerous the young people who genuinely thirst for truth and justice. Numerous are the wares that nature produces by the dozen, but her choice products are few.
We all know that, so why complain? Was it not always thus and will it not always thus remain? ...
― Albert Einstein

To criticize this asinine Ben Stein video, he makes it seem like history classes will get you skills pertinent to your future job. So what if someone doesn't know WWII was about. And the Spartans?

This guy is an educated imbecile. I would take what this guy says as a grain of salt. As a economist, he's a clueless economist. For one he was bullish on the housing bubble, & couldn't see a bubble. He thought housing bubble, with insane prices would continue forever. This guy is a charts & graphs based on empiricism idiot. He has no logic whatsoever. That's why he lost a lot of money on the collapse of the economy, housing being the worst sector ever to bet on. Don't, his degree is in poop.

@JesusChristisMuslim Don't worry your spot in Ivy-league school is saved for you. You should get your letter of acceptance any day now. You sound like a very intelligent individual.

When societies or Individuals do things based purely on profit, the world will begin to die one community at a time.
