The book explores the impending downsizing of economics professors due to the rise of distance learning and MOOCs. It discusses how these educational advancements will lead to lower college tuition and enhance the overall quality of economics education. Through analysis, it highlights the shift in teaching methods and the implications for the future of academic careers in economics.

This book provides an eye-opening expose that reveals the behavior of economics professors based on the highly questionable incentive system they face. It is particularly critical of the theoretical literature they produce as if they were contestants in a superficial publication game-a game where scientific integrity is often ignored.
