For millions, their college investment turned into a nightmare: 43 million people owe a combined $1.6 trillion in student debt, more than both credit card debt and car loans. How did we get here? Acclaimed Wall Street Journal reporter Josh Mitchell's landmark investigation is the first book to tell the full story of the student loan debt crisis in America. The Debt Trap is based on eight years of reporting and hundreds of interviews with the decision-makers who crafted the program, including college presidents, members of Congress, presidential advisers, lobbyists, Wall Street investors, and Sallie Mae CEOs. Mitchell alro profiles student victims whose lives have been irreparably damaged. The Debt Trap reveals the scandals, scams, predatory actors, and government malpractice that have created a system that one of its original architects called a 'monster'".--Back cover. 650 0 $a College costs $z United States. 650 0 $a Student loans $z United States. 650 0 $a Finance, Personal $z United States. 650 0 $a Education, Higher $z United States $x Finance. 941 $a 1 952 $l OPAX566 $d 20231108010324.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=810638DC7E0411EE85718D4F22ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b UIRInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
