A Perfect Mess
The Unlikely Ascendancy of American Higher Education
A Perfect Mess: The Unlikely Ascendancy of American Higher Education by David F. Labaree argues that what looks like chaos in the US higher education system is actually a source of strength. Labaree shows how competing goals such as democratic access, social mobility, workforce preparation, and the pursuit of knowledge produced a decentralized, fragmented system that proved adaptable and resilient. Through historical analysis and policy critique, he reframes disorder as an engine of expansion and innovation rather than a sign of failure.
