Economists are studying the costs and benefits of high-quality early care and preschool. And they're worried-not because we're spending too much, but because we're investing too little where it matters most. Are We Crazy about Our Kids? brings to life the classic studies of Perry Preschool, Abcedarian, and other initiatives conducted by Nobel Laureate James Heckman, former Federal Reserve economist Arthur Rolnick, and others demonstrating how high-quality early care and preschool yield a stronger economy, a safer and healthier society, more responsible citizenry-and even pay for themselves many times over.
