Why Does Yale Cost $55,000 a Year?
Clip: 6/9/2011 | 3m 26s
Paul Solman talks to tour guides and economist Robert Shiller about the cost of tuition.
Recently, we caught up with economist Robert Shiller closer to home -- outside the admissions office at Yale University, where he's taught economics since 1982. He suggested we waylay a Yale campus tour -- guide and group -- to get their take on inflation. One soon materialized. It happened to be a tourguide's tour, a seasoned undergrad chaperone taking her newly recruited charges on a dry run.
