Harvard University’s list price exceeds $45,000 a year. Students who live on campus pay even more. A child of privilege can easily consume a half million [&#8230;]]]></description>

He and his colleagues wondered if they should chase that competitor, so they sat down and made specific estimates [&#8230;]]]></description>
