Governors in Texas, Florida, and North Carolina have announced that they will not spend taxpayer money subsidizing the liberal arts. Majors like English and History—which were once very popular and highly respected—are in steep decline and President Obama has recently advised students to keep in mind that technical training could be more valuable than a degree in art history, when deciding on an educational path.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this timely and urgently needed audiobook Fareed Zakaria explains that this turn away from the liberal arts is a mistake. A liberal education provides the foundation for finding your voice, writing, speaking your mind, and ultimately, learning—all immensely valuable skills no matter your profession. Technology and globalization are making these skills even more valuable and necessary as routine mechanical and even computing tasks can be done by machines. More than just a path to a career, Zakaria argues that a liberal education is an exercise in freedom and above all, it feeds the most basic urge of the human spirit—to know.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca:text textemphasis=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/a:text\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"productInfoTabExpanderHeader0\" class=\"a-expander-header a-expander-partial-collapse-header\"\u003e\u003ca role=\"button\" data-action=\"a-expander-toggle\" class=\"a-declarative\" data-a-expander-toggle='{\"allowLinkDefault\":true, \"expand_prompt\":\"Leer más\", \"collapse_prompt\":\"Leer menos\"}'\u003e\u003ci class=\"a-icon a-icon-extender-collapse\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-expander-prompt\"\u003eLeer menos\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Book Lovers BD","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":55429796233507,"sku":null,"price":250.0,"currency_code":"BDT","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":55429796266275,"sku":null,"price":380.0,"currency_code":"BDT","in_stock":true},{"title":"eBook","offer_id":55429796299043,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"BDT","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/5872\/2083\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_c75b2f23-e2fb-4345-85a6-ed3edf0199f4.jpg?v=1785959443","url":"https:\/\/www.bookloversbd.shop\/products\/in-defense-of-a-liberal-education-book-by-fareed-zakaria","provider":"Book Lovers BD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
