My forthcoming book Sunk Cost, exposes the forgotten origins of the student loan system, how politicians have attempted to fix it, and the life-altering damage borrowers face.

Sunk Cost draws on my experience reporting on student debt for nearly a decade, but it also gave me the opportunity to pull back and tell in-depth stories about how policy is made and how it affects people's lives. I hope the book will help borrowers understand their plight as part of a broader system and push those who have little contact with student debt to rethink their assumptions about why it’s become a crisis. 

Sunk Cost will be available in April 2025, but for now you can pre-order at many places including: The University of Chicago Press; Bookshop; Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
