Summary:

A growing number of economists are worried about our investments in early childhood. Not because we're spending too much but because we're spending too little where it matters most. Nobel laureate economist James Heckman, former Federal Reserve vice president Arthur Rolnick and others walk viewers through the Perry Preschool, Abecedarian and other classic studies which showed how investing in high-quality early care and education yields huge individual and social benefits, and even pays for itself many times over.
